`every other car manufacturer iterates on multiple models every year` - that's not actually true. Every other manufacturer maintains the same base for their cars and simply swaps small details around to make it look like you are getting a different car. You are not actually getting anything radically different every year; not even every decade really.

Car companies work on a new model around every 7/8 years with a minor change at the halfway point. Essentially every decade most of the cars gets a complete overhaul.

it is actually true. many manufacturers, say kia, have multiple models. that's a fact. then, they iterate on these models every year. that's also a fact. yes, it is true that they typically have a major design on a specific model that is then kept around for multiple years, but they are still iterating on them rather heavily.

"simply swaps small details" is undercutting the improvements made to the cars, especially with fit and finish, something tesla is rather poor at in my opinion.

my statement is accurate and didn't imply that they redesign the car every year. everyone knows that isn't how it works.
