“I predict maybe 5%-10% will be EVs.....industry wide.”

Once Boomers and near-Boomers are gone, EVs will take over. Younger people will lay down for anything considered “the new cool thing” especially if Boomers don’t like them. We were the same when we were young, we thought old folks were out of it.

You missed a very important difference......we had the blessing of growing up before the digital age......at least I did.

That dynamic obviously changed the world and the kids growing up in it......and a lot of that influence has damaged the last two generations on many levels.

Nowadays kids are committing suicide because of the influence of the internet, cyber bullying etc.

I went to a very large high school for 6 years (7-12) in the 70s and I don’t recall any kids dying for any reason....much less suicide.

I can agree. But the technology will have improved a great deal by then.

It reminds me of US Army Air Corps pilots during WW II. They didn’t have much trouble finding enough fighter pilots because 19-24 year olds were used to their hot rod cars and liked speed. A 20 year old in a P-51 Mustang was hot $hit. Lol
