Tesla > 23andMe
Nothing against 23andMe it's just not going to effect the world in the near term the same way Tesla has and will in the next few years...
Give the award to 23andMe when it's actually effected our society. As of right now you can already get tested for any number of genetic disorders... and you and your significant other can be tested before you have kids to see what sort of risks you may have. I just don't see why 23andMe is that different. Maybe someone can explain what makes it great?
Meanwhile the Tesla is beyond proof of concept. It's fast, handles well and can be recharged enough to make sense if you are commuting. It's a real contender for those that drive Porsches, BMWs, etc to work. Add in their future plans to create new models that are more affordable and roomy.
[EDIT Details!]
- khafra 18y agoI'd give 23andMe the nod over the Tesla because the former, at $1000 for the basic kit, is accessible to just about anybody who's interested enough to save up for a while: it's a disruptive technology. The latter is more of a high-end curiousity for those well-off enough to indulge in it, it's an incremental increase in both performance and price over previous electric cars. I'd love to trade in my BMW for a Tesla, but it's a 12 year old M3, and to get similar performance from an electric car I'd have to pay ~8 times as much money. That's not disruptive or revolutionary.
- lunchbox 18y ago>at $1000 for the basic kit Actually, 23andme dropped the price to $399.
- mattmaroon 18y agoTesla is a glimpse into the future of an oil-free world. There's very little more important than that at this point.
