Not sure the car/bass comparison works. A fender style bass but made in the custom shop with neck reinforcement and some modern manufacturing methods would still be a modern monster bass. Just the style is “retro” at that point.

As others have mentioned, a bass with a built-in tuner should be common place. I also though the Line-6 Variax series or the Fret Light instruments were truly paradigm shifts, however neither set the world on fire.
However the timing may have just been poor on both? Lots of things that "missed" the timing mark have gone on to be forgotten about....

Maybe, but we have already been there with the Steinberger and almost nobody followed up.
It takes 39 kWh to produce a kilogram of hydrogen, presuming your electrolyzer is 100% efficient.
None are 100% efficient.
A kilogram of hydrogen in a fuel cell produces less than 34 kilowatt hours.
This is a NET ENERGY LOSS. Even in its potentially optimal state.
Sorry, but that’s not the future of transportation.

Actually, despite your attempts to portray any/all who think differently than you as morons, I’m quite familiar with the issues around large scale generation. Baseload generation of reactive power has become a large issue in many places. For ANY grid, it is power generated that never reaches the customer - and for which the customer pays. (For those of you wondering what it is, reactive power is needed for voltage support.) Meanwhile, aging grid components demand either a) lower constant load, and/or b) wide scale (and dazzlingly costly) upgrades.
A large chunk of this increasing demand could be offset by local power harvesting. As but one example, homes with solar roof tiles (accompanied by battery storage). Most of the suburban homes in this nation exist at latitudes that make solar harvesting cost-effective.

Your projection, and this sort of comment I've found in the past to mean you don't really understand it. Can't be bothered any further with this subject. Want to take it to an appropriate forum, I'll continue.

Ever hear the song “In the year 2525” by Zager and Evans? Check it out…cool lyrics! It goes from 2525 and up. In the year 5555 the verse goes…
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you
Well…if that’s the case then let’s all hope they’ll have some kind of blue tooth capable anal probe that can interface with some kind of bad a*s digital low frequency simulator! Talk about funky!

It only ever was amongst those that need to buy 'cool' however you wish to define that.

When I was in SoCal in 2019, my sister told me that someone in their Tesla slammed into the back of a fire engine because he was texting and depending on the Tesla auto pilot to navigate. So much for the future of cars. I think he sued LAFD! Whoa
Agreed...to begin with, Tesla's love affair with the touch screen is the opposite design philosophy to what makes a good driver's car. The car should facilitate an absolute focus on the act of driving, and therefore enable you to do everything important by tactile feel without taking your attention from the road. The fact that Tesla is seen as a leader in this space and doesn't get this is disappointing. Still, there are manufacturers who do get what a driver's car ought to be and are actually moving away from touch screens in recent models (Mazda is a notable example) and I'm looking forward to what they might cook up as batteries get lighter. That's the main limitation...electrics are too damn heavy to go around corners nicely so far. Looking forward to that changing over time.
The Model S is absolutely marketed as a performance car. Ludicrous mode & Plaid for the geeks, and this sort of thing for everyone else:
Oh good, it'll keep phone-obsessed drivers from knocking me off my motorbike
Vintage Fender necks don't need to be removed or loosened for truss rod adjustment
