Pocket-sized wireless miles-distant low-power multi-megabit/s data transfer cheap enough for cat videos wasn’t on the horizon either not all that long ago. I remember when dialup 1200bps was screaming fast; wireless >10Mbit/s was unthinkable; now everyone has it in their pockets.

We’re going in circles; seems you can’t accept that just because we don’t have a solution _now_ doesn’t mean we won’t concoct a solution _soon_ given enough demand.

I didn’t say that there can’t be any discovery.

My point is that there is considerable deception in building “battery factories” that are claimed to use a new technology when said new technology is fictional.

Musk is manipulating to get investors; he is a huckster.

We’ve been through this crap too many times before (Enron, Solyndra, etc) to fall for it so easily.

Time for reality.

None of that was new tech; it was utilization of developed tech becoming economically feasible.

For increased usage of electric cars to be possible requires tech that hasn’t even been dreamed of yet.

Electric cars at this point will crash our power grid if they increase further.
