Tesla's done the same brilliant job GM did in the 80s of demonstrating why ostentatious novelty in the auto industry tends rare, and I think for most of the same reasons.

It has come full circle. Now I see a Tesla supercharger full of 95% identical vehicles and think they are too homogeneous.

Working at an office park in the Bay Area, literally, and I mean literally, 50% of the cars are Teslas in the parking lot (mostly model 3 and Y).

... but now, the "something new" isn't that new anymore. The model 3 looks similar today to how it looked in 2018 right? And in some places, they're everywhere. I can see how the more recently released EV models from other manufacturers feel newer, haven't had the same quality control PR disasters as Tesla, and don't have a CEO who is a giant political liability.

Yeah I agree, they came out with the truck and ... everything else is just same old same old.
