Kill it. Kill it now, before it kills all the phones.

Yeah, it is so unlikely they could double sales. LOL

meh, "battery" might not be the best way to deal with electric cars...
A fuel-cell (with some means to generate the Hydrogen) or a supercap would be better

I'm hoping Tesla (or someone wanting to sell to Tesla and others) will come up with the next solution. Either an alternative or an improved battery. Necessity is now trying to get Invention to put down the game controller and get off the couch.

No, it is so unlikely that battery production will remain fixed when demand for batteries increases. You know, supply and demand and all. |

Shortages never happen before supply increases.

Yep, it is possible that at some point in the future, there will be a shortage of LiIon batteries. You know what else we might possibly have a shortage of in the future? Everything.
Really fascinating analysis.

"never" is such a harsh word.

Yes, I can't imagine how long it took you to come to that conclusion.

That was my point in response to richk449's comment. Shortages happen all the time.

This is who I was cheering for during the Automotive bailouts. ...Also Ford (for not needing any bailouts) and Toyota (for having plants in Alabama and being 'an American automaker'.)
