What "bleeding-edge" EV tech? Tesla hasn't made a single "bleeding-edge" contribution to EV tech.

> SolarCity made "solar roof" a viable & aesthetic product.

That's why solar city went bankrupt and had to be "bailed out" by musk?

> All three are still thriving on a lot of tech advancement.

SpaceX, tesla nor solar city made a SINGLE contribution to tech advancement. SpaceX hasn't made a single contritubion. They are rehashing DECADES old tech. Tesla hasn't made a single contribution. And solar city went bankrupt and had to be bailed out - just like tesla 10 years ago.

They proved that an all-electric car is viable. While certainly not an advancement in the truest sense of the word since we already had Li-Ion batteries and large electric motors, it was definitely a contribution.
