I don’t think he was talking about that old of TV. Like comparing model T ford to 49 ford. I think he was referring to 49 ford when comparing to Tesla.
Yes I agree with you. But to set record straight. The first so-to-speak cable station was “On-tv”. Launched in1977. It was a box that had to be wiggle-tuned (if that’s such a word) to only a handful of available programs. It was cool, but it also needed constant tuner fidgeting.
