This economics, how much do I have to spend to get a faster car than a Model 3, was what made me realize ICE is doomed. I did have to drive an EV before believing it. But once the economies of scale and battery tech improve to bring the overall price down, there won’t be anything better about ICE for the vast majority of consumers. There just aren’t that many car geeks. Most people don’t give a **** about driving experience or cars. They just want cheap transportation.
apparently by the end of the year I could get an EV with over twice the range of my 911. I won’t, but damn getting to LA without stopping at all is an achievement and something I can’t do in any ice car I’d care to own. The velocity of improvement here is faster than most people seem to appreciate

I don't like turbo lag, weight, or handling, or lag, and so in order to purchase an NA car with the same torque/0-60 as a $55,000 Telsa M3P, I would have to buy a $230,000 Lamborghini, which doesn't really work as a driver driver and is 4X as expensive, and that doesn't even include all the tech that makes a quality EV such a great daily driver. The majority of the vehicles sold by 2030 will be EVs. The cars and the options to buy them are accelerating rapidly.
I still treasure the experience of tracking and canyon carving with my GT3 and plan to keep her forever, but the rest of my future cars will be BEVs

I was talking with my across-the-back-fence neighbor yesterday. He was showing me his new Model YP. He also owns a couple of Macans, a Cayenne, and used to own a 930 Turbo - among others. Loves the Y. He is now in the "I'll never buy another ICE car" camp as well.
