Same with Tesla really, not a totally new thing.

But that's not a slant on him - taking a good idea and making a commercial success of it is a great skill.
He also made EV ownership look cool and exciting by adding useful functions like Gull Wing Doors, a function to keep doggy cool while being locked in the car at a supermarket, autopilot, etc. I like the Tesla but maaan it’s expensive so not completely available to the general public who’re on “normal wages”. I’d have one if I had the facilities to charge one at home.
