Technically already now feasible but expensive and pointless to get there. Not sure what Musk being able to finance all that is good thing.

    If something is both immaturely "cool", and immensely practical/ecofriendly/a good choice, we can all fulfill our childhood dreams while being responsible adults. Fart mode in the Tesla is a good example. Hilarious, stupid, and in some of the best and eco-friendliest cars ever.

      And stuff like that just so kills Tesla for me. All that late stuff that came after, say, Model S or at least Model 3 looks more like Musks version of buying a Porsche convertible aged 45.
