IIRC, and there's no guarantee of that because . . . you know, age . . . the first year/model was sort of meh. But after that there was no stopping them. 

 I was listening to old JRE podcasts with Andreas A. Wherein they complained about the quality of early iPhones and apples walled garden vs early androids. It took time and interaction with the market for it to improve and become useful. I think the same is true in these meat experiments. 

 I want to grow quality beef at home without having to off a cow to get it. 

 No, they were huge from the get-go. I remember it well. Android wasn’t really a thing at that point and in fact completely changed direction with its UX and form factor due to what they saw in the iPhone.

There was a price reduction that occurred quite quickly though, which was a factor in increasing first year sales.
