But while whole cars aren't there yet, the parts that make up a car are.
Tesla integrated the electronics into the battery pack for a reason - that way the integration and reliability could be improved while the overall cost can be brought down. It makes it harder to fix part of it, but as costs come down and reliability goes up that ceases to be an issue.
