Though Apple and Tesla may seem like two extremely different companies, they share some shocking similarities.�
For one, neither company has ever been concerned with iterative changes. While mobile-device makers were making incremental improvements on their handsets in a never-ending game of one-upmanship, Apple sat coolly on the sidelines rewriting the rules and then blindsided the industry with an elegant and totally new solution.�
Tesla seems to be doing the same thing in the auto industry. While automakers such as Ford and General Motors are locked in a constant battle of "me-too" improvements, Tesla has redesigned the automobile from the ground up and released a game-changer that people love.�
As Apple knows, bears may accuse Tesla's products of being too expensive for what they offer, or impractical for the everyday person. But fast-forward through several generations of iPods, iPhones, and iPads, and what Apple has achieved doesn't seem so ridiculous.�
Lastly, Both Apple and Tesla share managerial similarities. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a very Steve Jobs-esque vision, with attention to detail, and a brilliance that the bears shouldn't bet against.
