This is a no from me.
Same reasons as Mr. Blehm except if I were to purchase a new car, it would NOT be electric.
Yeah, it’s cool that a Tesla Plaid is basically the fastest car you can buy, but I still have a lot of love for internal combustion engines. I like V8s. I like turbos. I love the visceral experience of driving a big, loud performance machine.
I’m also not sold that electric cars are the answer to the emissions reductions that the gov is going to impose on us. Strip mining Cobalt and all these other materials needed for EVs can’t be nearly as environmentally friendly as drilling for oil. It’s perfect for the NIMBY crowd, however.
It doesn’t matter, either way. I’m typically a late adopter anyway. The biggest thing for new cars, for me, is all these excessive bells and whistles that come on cars now.
Imagine buying a 2022 Jeep in 10 years, with 10 cameras, lane assist, adaptive cruise, etc etc etc. Now it’s 2032 and half of that crap works and you’re not allowed to touch it CuZ rIgHt tO RePaIr!!!!
No. Just no.
