I didn't take blt's comment about lack of wisdom to mean that he felt that Tesla shouldn't make any radical changes. Just that Tesla was already making radical changes to the drivetrain and and software. It would be prudent to not add unnecessary complexity to a new design with frivoulous things like falcon wing doors.
I have no idea how analogous the auto design industry is to the software, but if this was the first version of a new software product I was making, I wouldn't add high risk features at launch which could jeopardize my release when my product is already groundbreaking in its primary function. I'd iterate on next years model after I had a stable base.
But, maybe the "wow" factor and the differentiation those high risk features gave Tesla was worth this risk?
