Electric is inevitable, ICE Isn't going away any time soon, politicians going to politic and for-profit auto makers are going to do whatever is most profitable that people will buy.
When enough people buy electric, that's when most cars will be electric. On an infinite timeline, EV is the future and will be the default..when? who knows.
What's clear in USA and Canada, the 'public transit' dream isn't going to happen in my lifetime (I'm 34) and no matter how much we try to say we're like Europe, we're not. Our country is not setup for public transit coast to coast in a cost-effective and convenient-enough way to convince people to give up their personal vehicles.
I have owned an EV car for 2 years and just sold it. I'll re-consider EV in 10 years. It's not good enough for me yet where I live. A 33 Gallon tank Diesel RAM is going to be the best truck for me at the moment. Wife is looking at a hybrid which seems to be the best of both worlds.
I have an order in on a Tri-Motor Cybertruck. Why am I not going to exercise that order?
1. 250 mile range estimated when towing
2. Having to stop for an hour to recharge on road trips
3. 'simplistic' cabin is worse user experience. I want a mute button, screen off button, turn signal stalks, ventilated seats, CarPlay, under seat storage, etc etc
4. No price negotiation. that truck is going to be 80 grand, my RAM is going to be 63K with every option and immediate fill ups and longer range
5. Unknown resale value
6. Tesla can't seem to repair cars very fast. some fender bender people waiting 3 months for parts
7. Generally poor manufacturing experience.
8. Poor customer service where features just lock or go missing with software updates
If a truck company can make a 1000 mile pickup truck with 30 minute charging and buttons everywhere and reliability...I'll consider it.
