Thanks, Ted. Yes, I chose red for the Tesla because it complements the blue I chose for the Maserati. You see, everything I do has a reason.
I was also wondering what other technologies have undergone a revival. To be honest, it's hard to come up with anything. (Even the Buratino rocket launcher fits in with this motif. Three vehicles, all with a similar visual orientation.) I suppose I could cite Objective-C as an example. In the late 1980s, it was chosen by Steve Jobs' NeXT company for developing their software. As we all know, NeXT ultimately failed and along with it, Objective-C. Many years later, Apple's iPhone made Objective-C the darling of the IT world. This was a tremendous revival. The problem with this story is that NeXT/Objective-C was never /really/ that popular to begin with. Maybe I can cite the audio turntable. It was once very popular. Then it died with the arrival of the CD. In recent years, vinyl records have again found a following. tbrunz wrote > Thanks, xap! Great sequel, Richard.
