Nah, probably a lie somebody made up. For the lulz.

Really only two reasons: performance (not an issue on a car like this), where getting an extra tenth of a percent can help with lap times... or crash safety. Which is constantly evolving.

Genuine question here: Why are entirely new car platforms needed any more? Havent we gotten suspension geometries and such sorted by now? So we have that down, doesnt need to change. Sure, you might update the struts/shocks with improved technology every few years, and springs as the weight of the vehicle changes.

I travel about 15 times per year and I have for about 12 years.
I have only forgot my hotel room number a handful of times. This just isn’t a problem for most people.

I think a movie car chase scene where they try to do all the crazy slides and whatnot of your typical movie car chase scene but have it go horribly wrong due to modern ESC would be great. Like a movie about aging ex-getaway drivers attempting one last big heist only to find that modern vehicles despite having twice…

As someone who was recently a pallbearer, “further off the ground” is not a feature you want in a hearse.

God I hope we actually still have Tom Hanks.
