Think of them as the giant big block V8's that gave no crap about emissions back in the 60's. Does that still exist today?

I would actually disagree, there have been no drastic changes and no radical innovative changes, just very small incremental changes. However, there have been huge changes and innovations in emissions controls but the market never forced huge changes as far as efficiency.
So just like HCCI has been pushed as the holy grail of gas simplicity and emissions with diesel efficiency, and all the promises of camless valve control in the early 2000s, they were just simply going to be too expensive for production and I don't see why it will be any different with batteries. Elon's $35k promise is almost $60k now.
