Gregory's Server@rodhilton Tesla was the first mover for EV, like apple was for smartphones. The difference is that teslas are pretty crappy and other manufacturers are catching up.
SpaceX is pretty dope, but I read the team hat to work around Elon's stupid ideas all the time to create a good solution.

@mathew @rodhilton Touch screen exist since the 80s or so but multitouch on phones with no keyboard was new.  @rodhilton @fabiank83 Yeah, if you come up with a narrow enough contrived definition of “smartphone” you can argue that Apple pioneered it. Apple didn’t invent multitouch either, of course; they bought it from Fingerworks. The iPhone was a minor improvement on previous smartphones in some areas, worse in others, using existing technology. That’s what Apple has always done well: take other people’s inventions and polish the design repeatedly. |
@fabiank83 @rodhilton Apple wasn’t the first mover for smartphones. There were smartphones with touchscreens before the iPhone.

(Also, the iPhone was pretty crap at first. No MMS, terrible battery life… but Apple steadily improved it. And FWIW I’m typing this on an iPhone.)
