I have a theory that anything that takes permanent, visible-realestate in the household has someone of a niche for people wanting tastefully designed things. In essence, things that do not appear "disposable" as so many kitchen ap

Hard to pinpoint a year. It's nearly impossible to figure the economic conditions in 2027 and determine if demand for new cars will be high or if there will be heavy (and high profile) investment in charging infrastructure.
