First off I don’t require seeing a thread saying “the tipping point of smartphones is now” because it wasn’t necessary.
Your bibliography consist of one uneducated guy rambling about half cocked technology improvements and speculation. If this was a college research topic you would fail.

It's clear to me you're full of it since you ignored to take up my wager. All talk and you won't back it up.

I'm suggesting to the moderators that this thread be closed. When it's closed, I'm going to buy me a 15 year old Dodge Cummins and celebrate just for John.

Yep come on over and take a deep breathe of my gasoline engine exhaust. Because you don’t know jack about the American automotive industry but you think you do.

resorting to insults. You do not know what a tipping point is and that we have reached it. But you are in the oil industry.

It sounds like you have a vested interest somewhere in keeping poisonous fumes being breathed into our lungs. You do not like what you hear.

I have told you. It is easy to understand, take up your bet with The Economist and Tony Seba. They are the ones saying the tipping point is here, not me.

Ah, the old played out “you just must work for oil industry” gag all EV fanboys resort to when they come up short. Attempting to undermine my motivations for calling you out still wouldn’t make me wrong either way.

But Tony Seba isn’t here...you are so either you truly believe this or you don’t. You’re deflecting.

You are really irritating. What part of "Land yachts will continue to be the preferred road car," and "You could maybe do that in a hybrid, but not without crippling yourself," did you not understand?

Please quit attacking people just to be unpleasant.

What's with all the bickering and personal attacks? Some of you have made a mess out of this thread. It's not worth salvaging and is now CLOSED.
