They already know electric motors and batteries. That gives them at least an edge.
And marketing bs aside, the motors themselves are an impressive technical feat. Although they're high rpm & low torque, so maybe not applicable.

I'd like to argue batteries and mass production are the issue and genuinely hard to solve. Not async motors and inverter circuits.
To my knowledge they use 3rd party batteries for applications where it is not a limiting factor that need to be pushed over but I could be wrong.
