It's an interesting parallel to consider because iPhone was revolutionary, it was something no one had seen when it came out, it was literally the first smartphone.

So, are you saying Tesla's cars with their design flaws are revolutionary like the first smartphone?

It absolutely was not the first smartphone; Nokia E-series predated by several years.

Nor was it the first keyboardless touch-screen phone, that was the LG Prada.

The iPhone was a clever subset of well-polished features very well marketed. The usual Apple approach.

Yes.

Mass produced viable electric cars, with a mileage of 300 miles.

A bigger revolution than the iPhone.
