Notice the data points since the expiration of the tax credit have not been favorable for electric. The time to EV adoption is going to extend well past 21 years if this new trend continues. And this chart is just for new car registrations, not used, so the percentage of EV vehicles on the road will still be well below 80% in the year 2047 unless something drastically changes.

Looks right.

Transportation evolution takes time.

What could accelerate this is cost, range, infrastructure and time to charge.

In 20 years maybe teleportation will hit. 😁
 
Just returned from another full FSD drive back from SJC. I was a little under the weather and with sunglasses on to mitigate Attention Monitoring you can actually doze off for a minute here and there. Life changing technology. Gas in the Bay Area already close to $7. My forecast for $10 starting to look low - pretty sure we’ll hit at least $15 over the next 2 years as the refinery desert effect takes hold. Enjoy it ICErs.

With Tesla's having the highest fatality rate of any car maker on the road, and death-by-Tesla being particularly fiery and gruesome due to the lithium ion battery heating to extreme temperatures, I wonder if you are placing too much faith in this technology?
 
The only reason Volvo and Polstar even exist still is because the Chinese government funds them, otherwise their EV bets would have destroyed them. Sooner or later they will probably fail anyway. Can’t hold up the sky forever.China is on the ropes…🤷🏽‍♂️👎🏽🦄🌈
