So Tesla's entire strategy Elon was working was just abandoned.

Continues down the pathway that Tesla is just going to fade to irrelevance.

Judging by the amount of their vehicles I'm seeing on the roads I'm suspecting they're going to fade into irrelevance like iPhones have.

Its not a like for like comparison. People change car brands all the time, there is very little environment or peripherals to be tied to.

in fairness they did get their charging cord to be made the standard for North America. Not sure what power that confers them but it has to be worth something.

It happened to Blackberry, everyone had one of those until iPhone came out. IBM used to be the most common PC brand. Everyone used to drive minivans. Markets shift all the time.
