It’s kind of interesting the way the entrenched players really aren’t interested in this technology so much.

Can't go supersonic over inhabited land in this day and age. So all it does is shave some time off on ocean crossing. Like flying the 3000km from East Canada to West Ireland in 1.5 instead of 3 hours.
At extremely increased cost. It's a hard sell in an industry that's competing for price efficiency.

Interesting like how entrenched auto makers are not interested in EVs, and entrenched power companies are not interested in solar , and entrenched health insurers are not interested in making healthcare more efficient?
Follow the money. Always.

Yea that is why every "entrenched auto maker" has an EV. Maybe you need to get off your social media and use your brain a little more.

Toyota?
Most of the big OEMs have one or two EVs and less less in a quarter than Tesla do in a day. (F150 lightning, Silverado, mustang mach e, muscle cars)

F150 lightning sales are about double compared to Cybertruck.

Sure. Cyber truck is a massive failure.
F150 Lightning sales are pathetic.
