Thanks, I meant to listen, but with infinity competing for my attention...
Write's Law would only be applicable to the cost of the battery, as everything else is either low cost, or a mature process.
Then there's the fact that EV production isn't doubling every year, so that isn't a good assumption.
EVs becoming more affordable over time is precisely why Elon jumped in when he did.
All of the comments seemed to be directionally correct, but I don't buy the optimistic assumptions made.
EVs are likely cheaper from TCO standpoint now. It's that upfront sticker shock people can't get over.
