I think that is on purpose. If you want society to have cars but use less resources than they currently do, then one should try and make them last as long as possible. Tesla has stated that it want to have cars last a million miles. The motors should do that already and they are working on the other components to do the same. We this in mind, one would want the 20 year old car to look very similar to the new one so that people don't feel the need to buy a new car just because the design is "very tired".

- njarboe 5y agoNo argument there.
- rootusrootus 5y agoWith all due respect, this sounds like yet another one of those "Let's spin this negative thing so it sounds good!" situations. Like the spartan interior. Better than just admitting it needed to have costs reduced in every conceivable way, it became 'elegant.' Same with the exterior design. Redesigning & retooling every few years is expensive. Much cheaper to tell people you're trying to save the world.
