Elon Musk's Boring machine

Never underestimate how much a totally new start based on the current state of the art can improve things. Manufacturers, in this case of TBMs, typically have a long legacy behind their latest design, and that legacy often carries with it design decisions from very early generations.

It’s very hard to justify breaking with the legacy when you have a solid market. Only a new entrant can justify it (because they have to).
