MKBHD (Marques Brownlee) has an explanation for the Tesla phenomenon. He places the Humane pin and the Rabbit box at the apex of a trend that rushes unfinished products to the market in a bid to gather feedback and then deliver the real product. This also happens with games when releases are labeled as alpha with lots of bugs and glitches, even from big studios. Needless to say, the half-baked versions charge full price.
In the spirit of the current trend, Tesla launches cars with lots of glitches, bugs and undesirable corners. Then, the product is refined with million data points collected. The auto driving was promised and then shipped later.
MKBHD has taken on the task it seems, to call out this very spirit. The main crooks i think are investors. Entrepreneurs capitalize on trends fair, but, if investors weigh in immeasurably on a particular hype, then entrepreneurs follow suit to fulfill the entrepreneurs’ desire to see those products on the market.
The result: when landing in customers’ hands, disappointment follows as they were not crafted to fit product vision or target needs.
