How would you respond to this post?

We live in uncertain times. If it sounds doomsday-ish, then youre reading it correctly. At any given moment there are important, powerful things happening around us. In the past, it could be argued that rapid technological advancements fit this description. Right now, one could make a case for anything from COVID-19 to the Climate Crisis. And some companies and products are thriving in the chaos. The first example that comes to mind, probably because its directly related to the auto manufacturers listed in the posted article, is Tesla. Tesla has demonstrated everything referenced in the article. Each car has a big monitor that keeps the people inside connected. [Smart Products & Productivity.] Tesla cars, generally, can only be serviced by Tesla service centers. Owners arent really allowed to obtain and work on their own cars, which is very different than times past. The level of customer service is as important as the service itself [Servicitization.] For Digitization, the product itself is pretty digital, but another example could be how a Tesla is built (as a model, not an individual product.) Tesla can mock up a car and see what it would look like in a computer long before manufacturing begins. For personalization, those who order Tesla's can do so from the comfort of their own home. They can choose their own features, color, and more. Its like Build-A-Bear for moms and dads. For Regulation, Tesla has to follow the same federal rules and regulations as all other car manufacturer. What sets them apart is how they go above and beyond. This is especially true in how they handle EPA regulations. As eco-cars they come with a guilty free conscience and a sense of civic duty.
