People make the mistake of seeing Tesla in particular as a car company, or a battery company. It's an IP and Data company. Those cars are all out there gathering geo data and driving habits, reporting back to base. Twitter is not just a social platform, it's a vacuum sucking up user data, customer complaints and so much more... If you have the clout and hardware to come through it. Bringing oracle into the mix is smart. They can crunch big data and potentially save a few $ on the running costs too.
