There are good challenges and bad challenges
800V charging? Great hard problem, strategic advantages
Stainless Steel body? Bad hard problem. No advantage in inventing expensive new precise manufacturing techniques, specifically to use a more expensive material for this one model. The market doesn't really value bulletproof body panels and stainless brushed appearances could be replicated.
Model 3 and Y are why Tesla is worth anything - solve a market need efficiently and effectively. X and S, Elon's passion projects, were terrible for the business.
