Tesla is following Apple's walled garden model, and it's very effective for early adopters of a new technology. Considering that they were the new kids on the block in the industry, they had to follow this strategy to deal with the perceived shortcomings of BEVs; they had no choice,There's no reason every other company can't figure it out too.
But just as Google and Samsung demonstrated with Android phones, it's also possible to be wildly successful taking a partnering approach where you favor a more open ecosystem. Granted, it is not a perfect analogy, but with time, the early advantages enjoyed by Tesla will become less important.
