My only addition to this thread is... embrace change.
People think I am crazy, but I enjoy all the cars in my fleet.
Cause each has a reason to exist.
Diesel = Mercedes Diesel (40+ mpgs, gets 700 miles on a tank, I drive it when I go 50-100 miles in a day)
EV = Chevrolet Volt (think I am sitting at 150 mpg average right now, it gets driven about 40 miles a day... 38 of that is usually all electric)
ICE = My Caddy, Mustangs, Camaro, Jeep, Truck, Slignshot, Motorcycles, Waverunners. (these are toys and are treated as such)
But for day to day driving, I embrace my Diesel and the EV...cause it saves me $$$$
And that means more $$$ to spend on toy cars I don't need lol.
NOTE: I sold all my gas lawn equipment as well and went electric. Thats been a dream actually, cause now I mow at night when its cool and nobody cares cause its nearly silent LOL
Yes embrace change and who has the most to gain from EV? The performance guys!
What you guys really yearn for is gobs of torque more than horsepower and that is what you will get in the EV Mustang. I don’t care what any Ford insider said about the future of Mustangs. If they are keeping the brand there is an EV Mustang probably ready to go at a moments notice. And it will be faster as in way faster.
I predict nobody will lament the loss of the V8 when 2 second legal 0-60 performance arrives, 4.3 seconds will be suddenly irrrelevent and so will be the V8 and IC in general. I once swore I would never own anything other than a V8 and now I’m one version of a long term test subject (I’ve probably driven hybrids longer than anyone here) for hybrid and EV cars. Things change folks.
