Tesla offered their interface as a standard. Competitors refused, thinking it would allow Tesla a competitive advantage. 

Tesla has most of what’s been outlined here. Their battery packs monitor/cool/heat on per cell level. You can’t replace specific modules as easily, but who has needed to? (Tesla degradation is <1% per year and the packs built in the last few years have been /very/ solid) Teslas also have heat pumps on the motors as,…

And excuses, apparently.

Useless but mildly interesting trivia: The Ford Raptor is 86.3 inches wide (not counting the mirrors), just 0.2 inches less than an H1 Hummer.

Can anyone remind me of a billionaire or historical equivalent that was PRO union?

My uncle does. But he’s 70 and hasn’t bought a new car since 2002.
