300,000 new Tesla's on the road should boost that number, however I would like to see a Tesla range extending roof box with a small engine in, however unlikely.

Because of the lack of combustion engine, gear box and drive train the interior of the Model S is huge compared to other similar sized conventional cars. I imagine the model 3 has the same benefits and the interior is a lot larger than it l

I suspect it could have a HUD (Head up display) to show the driver basic information (speed, navigation etc). Everything else can be on the center console. Look at the citroen cactus dashboard and make it more Tesla-like http://i

You are assuming well tested is referring to unit tests, rather than the wealth of developers depending on and running it in their projects daily. Don't forget how many different targets there are for JavaScript, even if you had a test

The elephant in the room here is that Apple support their products for longer than anyone in the industry. Support for legacy iOS devices and macs is very impressive.

Maybe they haven't added music playback to the iPhone because then some fraction of owners might not feel the need to buy an iPod? Apple promote their ability and willingness to cannibalize their own products.

It will be interesting to see what happens when we reach a position where virtual drugs are possible, or virtual reality can be as addictive and detrimental to ones life as being addicted to chemicals. Can you ban math(s)?

It is quite possible to develop semantic, content focused HTML and then at a later point style and re-style with CSS. It is only through laziness and lack of understanding that people couple them together.

You could mix and match modules and library perhaps. You could make the same argument about any higher level language, even those with as many quirks as JS, like PHP ;)

By this logic, you could argue that because the code is compiled it will be hard to understand and find exploits. I don't think this is going to be an issue, or be any different than where we are now.
