Graphene (and carbon nanotubes) is supposed to make everything in the future thousands of times better than now, but what is holding it up?

Where are the super strong carbon nanotubes capable of ridiculous tensile strength (space elevator)?

Where are the graphene batteries that prevent dendrite growth and create a puncture-safe cell?

Where are the "warm" superconducting wires?

Supposedly every area of life should be improving due to graphene and carbon nanotubes, but so far all I've got is very expensive supercapacitors.
