    What would you ever consider new in any vehicle if you look at it like that?

    Solid state batteries? Not new, it’s just changing the anode but a battery is a battery so it’s just an iteration.

      … Not much.

      I’m not really looking to the automotive industry for completely new innovation like that. If I’m going to spend tens of thousands of dollars for a car, I’m probably going to keep it for at least a decade and I value it being reliable and easy to repair. Mature technologies have a lot of advantages over new innovations there.

      I’m not the one claiming that these features are new or innovate, and I’m not the one claiming that being on the cutting-edge of technology is a good thing. Musk is.
