Right.

Which is why i said EV was thought of as commuter replacement only.

Yet the most advanced, fastest production cars every produced in automotive history, are switching to EV now. They're not even waiting until 2035 lol. That's my point.

When smaller markets like dodge, GM, ford are shifting to EV, guess where everyone else will start moving foward to?

Yup. EV.

Imagine BMW still producing an ICE M3 or ICE "x" car only for it to get rocked by a EV hellcat.
Why are you so obsessed with straight line speed? You keep writing that ICE cars will get smoked by EV cars. Understand this: most DRIVING enthusiasts don't care that a Tesla will beat them to the next stoplight. That party trick gets old after the first day.

There's a reason why BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo are moving heaven and earth to find solutions that will prolong the existence of combustion engines in their mainstream sports cars. They know EVs will not satisfy their customers and fail to provide necessary character and brand differentiation. You can be sure that future EVs will have engineered emotion in them (artificial sound, manipulated torque curves, fake gears shifts etc). The automotive equivalent to a blow up doll.
