Remember how beating a grandmaster at chess used to take a custom designed supercomputer with custom ASICs but now a desktop PC can do it, because the software got better?

Yeah, that.

What I don't like with PHEV is that you get a small battery, yes sure enough for daily commutes, but you have to recharge it every day.

So.... you plug it in when you get home?

I don't see that as too difficult.

And you won't be stranded if you forget to do it, it just costs you extra so you're more likely to remember to do it next time.

AI, schmayai.

What I want is a version that can buffer more than 10kk of data so it doesn't all go to hell when I'm watching over WiFi and a scene with rain or sea or whatever. I've got 16Gb of RAM, FFS. The entire file could fit in memory, but nooooo, we can only buffer a few kb because more would be wasteful!

and, (b) a version where I can single-step more than dozen frames without it crashing.

and (c), a version that can re-open the same file and continue if the network glitches or if I put my computer to sleep half way through watching something. The file's still there , use it!.
