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. |

Hence why people want x-drives, because they want to build power TO PUT the power down, in a straight line. There's very few people who buys these cars with the intention to track it. And even fewer that actually do. I'm a fan of cars. I don't give a fuck if it's powered by shit. If it goes fast, i like it. If it looks cool, i like it. I love automotive evolution. EV is the future. And you can say yeah no shit it is, or no it isn't but even if i didn't exist on this forum, all of what i said WILL come true. Didn't lambo said they're going to produce the last V12 in their next model? What's next after? A hybrid V10? Possibly. What are they really going to do? I know. Go EV. You're crying like i'm preaching that the day will be tomorrow when all of this is happening. I'm posting as a reality check because it seems that people think this is all a hoax. The whole "ban", car makers going EV. We reached the pinnacle of ICE. We saw the best. Now we approach the next phase. Deal with it already. |

I got the M3 as an addition to my corvette. A toy that will get used a bit more often than my other toy. It's good to have options. If i like tesla, should i just have 3 teslas then? |

This back and forth of who's right who's wrong...who cares. Unless you have a crystal ball, no one knows what the future holds. For all you know tomorrow might be your last day. I wouldn't worry about what I'll be driving in 10, 20, or 30 years. I'm sure it'll be something great (hopefully). Let's enjoy the cars of today and make the best of it before they are gone.

Not pointing fingers at you, just saying in general. What will happen in the future are just predictions based on what we know today. That can all change if something better than EV came out. Again, who knows. I'm just glad I have a G80 M3 sitting in my garage and I get to enjoy driving it.

The actual outcome is going to happen, no matter what any of us will say. We can think of every excuse or reasoning on why it shouldn't happen, whether we involve politics or not. It's going to happen. That's the biggest hole in anyones' argument towards this EV subject. I'm not an EV nut. This is real talk. We can be car enthusiasts and speak the truth too you know. https://www.forbes.com/wheels/news/automaker-ev-plans/ For some on that list, it's happening sooner. So plans do change. People really think this is a hoax and they're going to change their mind, eliminate the EV plan and go back to ICE lol. |

So here’s my own, overbearing and full of myself prediction. I don’t believe EV will make it past 50% for the next 60 years. We have a massive oil industry here that will fight it and they have very powerful connections. Also the EV fan boy side had better hit the books when it comes to technology because what they have now sucks. How is EV going to power tractor trailers? Jet planes? Winnebagos? Farm tractors? Just to name a few. And I don’t care what anyone has said I have not read anywhere where they are even close to increasing charging times which is going to throw a massive wrench in your predictions. I travel 4000 miles a month for my work. I love having an efficient vehicle for that. In fact I drive a Toyota Camry hybrid. 40 miles to the gallon baby. I love it. I am not going to drive from Tampa to Atlanta and stop at some freaking charging station for an hour to get 50%. So until they have charging stations with very big parking lots everywhere they have gas stations and they can charge these cars to 90% in under 10 minutes your prediction is nothing more than that. A prediction. And I still don’t see how they’ll ever produce an electric motor that out does a diesel engine as far as pulling power for tractor trailers. I’m not saying they won’t invent one someday but I haven’t seen anything yet. Now having said all this please understand one thing and that is I think electric vehicles are pretty cool. I always have. I think Tesla makes ugly cars but other manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW will make cool looking ones. I think the idea of them going extremely fast is very cool also. I like the idea that the consumer has the option. However I will fight tooth and nail to make sure that our government doesn’t force this technology on the people like they have in Europe and simple free market principles and capitalism allow it to take its natural course. It should not be the religion of global warming that calls the shots on this. |
