First of all I think you meant the Tesla of the internet provider industry. And also, by your definition, even Tesla isn't the Tesla of the EV industry 😅
What do you mean ?
You said starlink was the Tesla of the EV industry. But they aren't part of the EV industry, they are an internet provider.
And many people would argue that Tesla is not leaps and bounds above the competition, but rather falling behind the competition after starting with a huge head start.
It's a figure of speech. Breathe of the wild is the soulsborne of Nintendo. I honestly can't explain it. Yes Tesla was the Pinnacle during the early years of EV. Starlink is the Pinnacle of space internet. I'm sure it will get overtaken. Currently musk has resources that others don't, namely space x
Maybe I coined it wrong. Starlink is the Tesla of the space internet. Is that better
Yeah, that's actually much better. I agree, they are both trailblazers.
Not necessarily trailblazers. Similar to apple. They took products that existed and made them mainstream appeal. That's the difference. Satellite Internet has been around for ages but not easy and user friendly. Same with evs. Been around since 19th century.
Musk made them Kool
Tesla wasn't even that great, they just had more marketing (and installed some charging stations on the west coast usa) than many of the companies they did RnD with at the time
Think the car was pretty Kool too.
Not really, it had a lot of hype about it.
Oh absolutely. But it was flash when other evs weren't. It had all the buttons. Fun doors.
