Kinda like Apple?
Well, not really. Apple started in a new field, became a major player, dropped into a bit of a niche, and for the last decade has been working its way back out of that niche. As it is, Apple is what? the 3rd or 4th largest pc maker. (That is small pc, i.e. all personal computers.) Tesla does not even make the top 20, and is coming into a niche of an already existing large product market.
