Business models today change at a furious pace. Since 2004, Jim has predicting that perhaps even Google will get into the car business ..... and the car will arrive with a party in a box! At one time, that seemed like a far fetched scenario. |
I don't think the scenario posted by Tesla is far-fetched at all -- given rapid science, hyperinnovation, low cost offshore production, and the slow response of other traditional business models .... every industry today is ripe for massive disruption and the rapid emergence of new competitors. A big part of the equation is avoiding 'legacy costs' both in manufacturing as well as sales and support. Think FedEx, not car dealerships. Think smart engine modules that pop in and out, not auto mechanics. Think WalMart, not ReadyLube.
The only problem with my prediction? Timing -- I suggested in January 2006 that we'd see it in 2015 -- and Tesla Motors announced it in July 2006. Tesla Motors includes involvement from some of the founders of Google.
