Same rosey picture fluff. That's Hallmark of almost any piece on fusion, self driving, AGI, VR, electric cars, electric planes and quantum computers etc. Oh, available tomorrow. Done deal.
Find me a after the market Chinese cell phone battery that lasts 24 hours or an after the market laptop battery that lasts two hours on a charge and I'll be a devotee to Chinese electric cars for whole my life.
This feel good tech utopia of endless possibilities where wind can power terra watts, sunlight can do wonders and such sells well but otherwise is irrational and non scientific. At the moment.
Problems are harder than that.
- Supermancho 3y agoSee Peter Zeihans concise Electric Car breakdown on youtube. Major EV Manufacturing expansion has been cancelled by automakers, including Tesla The manufacturing costs that were propped up by cheap Chinese labor and exotics is ending. Not enough exotics available for a long term plan to convert the US to EVs. Cost ends up driving EV prices too high for foreseeable future. Not enough infrastructure in the US. This isnt changing anytime soon. Money is tight and risk averse consumers avoid EVs, especially anything that isnt the current models.
