It's like car features that have been around for 70+ years are the way they are for a reason.

Reminds me of the guy that built that sub that got crushed. There are standards in place for good reasons and ignoring them is a bad idea.

Yup, and just like the sub Tesla did multiple things that were substandard because they worked in controlled environments and even worked ok the real world for a short time before failing.

It should be painfully obvious by now that Elon Must is one of those "I know best" Pigheaded Ignorants.

He always "knows best" so almost a century of auto engineering verified by trillions of hours of actual field use are meaningless next to his "superior" ideas (which whilst looking like UI design are painfully devoid of actual UI/UX expertise).

It's the same reason why when he started Tesla he tried to fully automate car manufacturing whilst having zero experience in auto manufacturing and it blew up badly and all his early factories had to be retooled and hire actual auto-workers.

No wander he turned out to be a rightwing-nutter: In my experience "I know best" Pigheaded Ignorants is one of the most common personality profiles in that tribe.
