I didn't mean they didn't improve at all. They absolutely have. Just not enough to matter in the context of cars.

And even if we did get a 50% battery capacity upgrade in 2025 as compared to 2024 - while I wouldve lost the bet... My original point would've still been just as correct, because even at that point, they're still annoying to work around vs ICEs and their biggest cost would still come from a single component (battery) that has a pretty short expected lifespan compared to a regular engine

And you yourself likely know that as well, considering you didn't even acknowledge my bet ( ◠ ‿ ・ )
