Well stated - and Tesla is also fully integrated vertically, heck they mine the lithium from the earth, build the cars with renewable energy, and sell solar panels, solar tiles, and battery storage for the homeowners, thereby getting all of the consumer's money start-to-stop (pun intended).

Tesla make an amazing product, and some dude on CNBC pointed out something very interesting about the future of Tesla. Basically in the future, people with Tesla will essentially operate in a mesh network of 'micro-micro' power grids. Pushing to the power grid, it's all in very early nascent stages, but I can totally see that happening.

Cheers,
