Tesla is designing the cars to last a million miles. Many people would not use a car that long, but if they did accomplish such a thing, it might cannibalize vehicle sales in general, yet this might be the plan all along.

it's not all that different historically from the other car companies, just on a different timeline.
way back, all the automakers did build stuff to last. then around the 50-60's, they realized that 'planned obsolescence' could be spun to their advantage, which helped spur import companies to come into the market later and easily be a higher quality.. of which, they're still fighting somewhat today, though all companies have come leaps and bounds with all of it.
