Sadly, it doesn’t matter. The demand for EVs continues to skyrocket. Enthusiasts like us represent a very small portion of the market. The typical person drives less than 50 miles per day so range is not really an issue and if you can afford $50-70k for a new car then you probably own a home with where you can charge in the garage. Most of these buyers want to remove exhaust and engine noise, not enhance it like we do. They like that there is very little maintenance, while we like to work on our cars. Even the slowest EV feels really quick around town and the advanced tech with OTA software updates keeps the car feeling current. The typical buyer doesn’t even enjoy driving, they would prefer tech that automates the process as much as possible.
The auto industry has been long overdue for innovation disruption and whether you like them or not you have to give credit to Tesla for changing the game. We had the Internet revolution and now we are entering the ICE to EV revolution.
