Sorry but completely irrelevant analysis. Amazon is built on a model of commerce across MANY MANY different areas of products. Tesla is built on the ASSUMPTION that electric cars will be made cost effectively in volume AND there will be high enough demand for them despite their limitation.

Amazon may succeed or fail over time based on how the business is run and price competitiveness. But Tesla has to still prove the two basic principles for its survival WHILE not having faced any real competition yet (none of this obviously applies to Amazon).

And Tesla has let its time advantage slowly erode. Can you imagine what would happen to Tesla if Audi or BMW came out with a 250 miles electric range car around $50-60K?
Can you imagine what will happen to BMW when Telsa comes out with the $35000usd Model 3. Musk will be the battery king by then... Tesla just announced the PowerWall. Tesla will diversify beyond and be highly competitive compared to where they are now. Tesla is only just beginning.
