On top of all this, the (sad?) reality for high-performance ICE enthusiasts like ourselves is that, for the average person, the EV ownership experience is meaningfully superior. Smoother, quieter, punchier drive with more interior/storage space and you start the day with a fresh (and cheap) 200-400 miles of range every morning and it requires much less upkeep and it won’t kill you if you accidentally leave it on in your garage. Game over.

I test drove a Taycan and I’m no longer concerned about whether an EV can work as a fun car. We haven’t seen a true EV sports car yet (at least one that’s less than 7-figures); I believe BMW/Porsche/etc will deliver when it’s time.
Just wondering when in life did you start to feel comfortable speaking for average people? I know lots of average people and not one of them has said an EV experience is meaningfully superior. Not one.
