>I’m sure a lot of people reading this has, at some point in their careers, felt that urge of innovating no matter what. An uncontrollable desire of redesigning something that hasn’t been redesigned for too long. It has to be recreated. And it has to be innovative. Right?

Made me think of the new Model S and its big dumb yoke. Elon literally reinvented the wheel, and for what? Poor ergonomics to fight 100 years of collective muscle memory and best practice, at a cost of reduced practicality with basic operations like parking, and safety when you move the blinkers and horn to capacitive buttons, and then have the ability to TURN the yoke upside down so that that their positions are inverted and your arms are crossed when you inevitably crash. It's complete lunacy and for no practical benefit. ("13-year-old-me would feel like I'm driving K.I.T.T." is not a practical benefit.)
