Also, it will probably take the industry many years to convert everything to electric. We will be ok.

This argument can be used to justify even the most exotic of cars going EV. Not all cars are created to be sensible commuters. Some are purposely engineered to spark emotion in a driver. Sound and vibration (e.g. touch/feel) are two innate human sensory inputs which will disappear with full electrification. Under the latter's umbrella you can also throw in the feeling of changing your own gears and the sensation of gears jerking. All these little things add up.
Sure I'm curious to see how Dodge plans to make their EV muscle cars unique as they claim. But I also think that ICE variants should continue to live on for as long as it's possible.
