s/specialist/generalist. Unless you are using a different definition for those words, I don't know why you would call Toyota a specialist brand relative to Tesla.



"specialist in the mass market" I meant, but yeah "generalist" is definitively better.


Just a guess: did your brain think "someone with expertise in the mass market" and then shorten "someone with experience" to "specialist"?


Somewhat, brain went straight to "brand specialising in mass market" which was already incorrect but still understandable. Unfortunately I also wanted to avoid repeating "mass market" hence the shortening.

"Specialising in $0"=="someone with expertise in $0" is wired in my brain without any validation of $0.
