They are too expensive... no place to buy gasoline ... way too noisy...they break down too much... the tires don't last... too hard and too dangerous to crank start... not enough paved roads...

Automobile racing? Who wants to watch that? That'll never replace horse racing!

Have you 'upgraded' your car's factory sound system with a tube amplifier and turntable? Some people still argue that digital music and solid state electronics sound much worse.

Look, I'm not 100% on board with electric cars either at this moment, but I'd feel foolish if I at least didn't keep an open mind.
Actually, I have a beautiful vintage 1966 Fisher tube power amp that drives the main channels in my stereo/theater system that makes anything short of a modern $50,000 McIntosh system sound like complete garbage. And with my Pro-Ject Carbon Black turntable and a pretty substantial collection of 180g remastered vinyl, I’m quite certain you’ve never heard Dark Side of the Moon sound nearly as good as it does in my living room. Unless you saw Floyd live.

Now what was your question? Ya lost me.
