I think they will do both for as long as they can. If there does come a time when the big car makers are competing directly Tesla can fall back on their battery tech. They do have their software too and if they can keep that working for them they may keep and edge the car giants won't take from them for years as those guys seem to be terrible at getting software to work like silicon valley companies can.

For UI software or whatever I agree but if we are talking about control software they are excellent. Just look at how good stuff like traction control, launch control, active suspension, etc is nowadays. Never mind that for that kind of software they could just buy it from OEMs that specialise in that like Bosch or McLaren Technology if they need to.
