Electric cars still a joke!!

You mean that the Roadster can cover 620 miles in 60 minutes? Not even Tesla states that. Maybe you know something the rest of us do not? LOL

And when were there ever Ballard fuel cells in thousands of homes, as the Powerwall is already. When was there a 100 megawatt Ballard fuel cell balancing a grid? When were there a 100,000 cars built to run on Ballard fuel cells in one year, just by one brand? There is a vast fortune waiting for the manufacturer of a battery that is both cheaper and has a higher energy density. Some with a much higher energy density have already been built in the lab. And the Goodenough-Bragga battery charges far faster than the lithium ion does.

that is because the "prediction" never happened

Most people who buy trucks have as their #1 priority, reliability. Their truck is their livelihood. No truck guy is going to buy a truck unless the state of the art in batteries FAR surpasses what it is now. And when that happens, the big question will be, what will it cost? Costs don't matter to people who embrace AGW.........but the matter to a vast majority of the rest of the world.

EV's are still waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced, which is part of the reason their sales numbers are so weak.......very few purchases are made by middle class buyers......mostly upper income folks.
