  1. Yet the sales and production of Tela EVs IN CHINA, has steadily increased except for the times when they are adding production modifications to their factories. Tesla is a luxury car in China, how is it possible for them to make and sell more Teslas IN CHINA year in and year out if what you say is imminent?

  2.  @YourHineyness  True, maybe not dirt poor, but at least dust bunny poor. However it is not only the "million millionaires" that are buying Teslas. It's kind of weird: China is the most competitive EV market by far, and many of the Chinese EV marques have partial and even total government ownership, so they can really go on losing money of their vehicles indefinitely, And really there are only two EV OEMs that do not lose money on each sale: BYD and Tesla, and BYD is sort of suspect in this claim. Tesla is the only car manufacturer in China that is not at least partially owned by the Chinese gov, but is totally investor owned, yet it's model Y is the best selling EV in China, and the only EV that is making money for the manufacturer. This is a company the is dragging the world (sometimes kicking and screaming like in Germany) into the future.

  3. My own prediction is that sooner than you think, in a few years, none of these demographics will matter anymore. None of them. And you will not have to wait long to see that: AI, robots, and especially E5, will demolish your predictions. None of it will matter in the coming Elysium.

  4.  @YourHineyness  I have reason to be optimistic: LIfe has an urgent desire to survive and evolution is the prime determinant of survival. At this point evolution is no longer dependent on natural selection (if indeed it ever was). Though lame ideas of transferring an individuals identity and memories into an inorganic mechanism are held by some, I personally hold the opinion that the problem of deterioration and death will be overcome by bio-science (if it has not already been) Such as the research of Dr. H. Katcher and his discovery of the rejuvenation potential in E5 plasma borne nano particles. Imagine what potential will be tapped when the leading minds and geniuses in the sciences do not loose their mental acuity with age, or age biologically at all. Instead of educating and training new people to take up their torches, they could just go on. The demographics are meaningless if people stop aging and dying. We are talking about a procedure that will be affordable and available to everyone. Add in the Tesla bots and the advances that AI will make possible and there you have it. Can we, or some religious nut-job screw the pooch for the planet? It is a possibility, but Life itself is alive and I doubt very much if that is in the cards except as a conceptual postulate. What I do see as "in the cards" for humanity is a golden destiny among the stars with infinite resources and the expansion and "destupidification of humanity, as the physical reality of what the collective unconscious vaguely alluded to, via the myths and stories of most major religions (may they and the mindless dupes who take them literally disappear and take their divisiveness with them) become the physical reality for the many that they have been at times for the enlightened few.
