Fair enough, I obviously haven't looked into it.

But the initial tech on an F1 car was not made for 200k miles either.

Even if the full tech stack to make it all work - material science, physical layout and construction - doesn't transfer, maybe some bit of it will.

My point being though, unlike some purists, I like the technology race. It is much better than having a brand war simply on the basis of brand loyalty.
