That’s fair of course, but i doubt that’ll happen in my lifetime
Maybe and a big maybe closer than you might think or maybe not quite solid state

Nope. Read the two last sentences. I’m not going to be around in 2040. 😉
Keep in mind, even IF they manage to power a car through solid state packs reliably this decade, that’s not in a production model – and more importantly, once they do become usable, they’ll be stupendously expensive due to the nature of solid state packs.
Of course i might be wrong on the timeframe, but whenever they become viable you can add at least another 10 years for them to become available in cars that we could afford. By which time other technologies (hydrogen etc) might’ve taken off.
Or, of course, by that time the sealevel has risen so much that we’re looking more at boats.
