I took the original Ford quotes regarding Apple&#x2F;Tesla a bit differently.<p>People keep these things for up to 30 years.  I haven&#x27;t had a car I kept for less than 10 years, and the average is over 10.  There is a huge support network that goes into enabling this. At this stage in the game, are you willing to buy an Apple or Tesla product that you plan to keep for more than 10 years?  Are you willing to bet that those Tesla supercharge stations will still exist in 10, 20, or 30 years?<p>This is what the average consumer wants.
