"But Honda know a lot about making cars. Tesla tried to disrupt the entire process. This is where hubris gets you "

Can you clarify why disrupting the process is hubris? There has been many historical examples of outsiders coming in and improving old processes in many fields. Why is it hubris to disrupt the car manufacturing processes?

1. I am a tech guy who builds computer systems

2. I can comppletely retool car making,

* from base principals

* because I am very smart (see 1.)

That is hubris

Does not always fail. Usually does. Betting on hubris to fail is probably a good strategy (I reckon - I do not know)

It is very common for disruption to happen with cross disciplines. It seems to me that it worked in this case with a software dev going into the auto industry.
