Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Another ex-Tesla exec tries to revolutionize an industry with a “new” technology that’s actually an iteration of existing ideas. Sadi Thermal Machines promises to disrupt thermal management, because that’s not something that’s been done before. The company’s name sounds like a mashup of existing tech buzzwords. Baglino’s second startup in a year is either a sign of innovation or a sign of something else. Sadi Thermal Machines is just the latest example of an old idea being rebranded as revolutionary.
