The formula is so consistent: cherry-pick some disappointments, interpret any pivot as retreat, claim the hype is unsustainable, predict imminent collapse, position yourself as the sober realist. Rinse and repeat every 6-12 months, adjusting the timeline when the previous prediction fails to materialize.

LA has more than 6,000,000 cars.
That is how strong you can disagree with me. 400 out of 6,000,000. And I'm being kind by considering just LA.
