Just because American Motors went away, it doesn’t mean cars are a bad idea.

Just because it’s a good idea doesn’t mean the science was good.

EEStor was not the only one researching better capacitors: Graphene-based supercapacitor offers energy density comparable to NiMH battery, but with rapid charge and discharge

It might take a bit longer, but after centuries of snake oil we also have cured the Syphillis and eradicated Polio.

Time will tell if they ever are able to bring a product to market. Energy density comparable to lithium batteries is great for a capacitor but we really need something an order of magnitude greater. Lithium is no longer adequate for the new generations of electronic devices and has never been adequate for a car.
