Well sure..

And when the first gas cars were produced, did you think there were Shell stations coast to coast?

There was probably some old timer just like you sneering at how these new-fangled contraptions would never replace the trusty horse and buggy. Fast forward to today, and how did that work out?

Same thing will happen with these. It will take a bit of time to scale, but some version of transportation beyond dino oil is going to supplant your pickup truck.

The first electric car was in 1890. How much time do you think they need.

Few people drove coast to coast in horse drawn buggies when Fords rolled out.

You’re so clever to miss the point.

There point is that just because there isn't full infrastructure in place at the outset doesn't mean that the concept can't continue to progress.

And it's easy for the armchair layperson who isn't movitated or smart enough to drive any sort of innovation to ridicule anything new.

Full infrastructure in place means taking picnic lunches and blankets to wait for the car to charge in massive charging lots of people waiting to do the same.

And learn what not-analogous means.

Ok, buddy. You're right, no innovation beyond your gas powered car is possible because Infowars tells you so.
