Love or hate it, no one ignores it. EV's with their silent electric motors and giant batteries are fast, but it's a boring and sterile disconnect of man and machine. A soulless electric device. There's no hood to open to marvel at the mechanical beauty and love that went into it's creation, and no one smiles when you flip a switch to connect a battery to a motor. Park a Tesla next to a 72 SS 454 four speed Chevelle, open the hood and see how many people look at the Tesla. An EV will never be a muscle car. You cant modify it, you cant work on it, fathers sons daughters wives and friends can't bond over creating or working on it, And I don't know if you have ever been to an EV car show, but I have, and it's one of the most depressing and pathetic "automotive" events I have ever witnessed.
