I'll always keep an IC car, but will happily embrace an electric M. just because I am old fashioned and like horses, doesnt mean I'll ride a horse to work. Sure I might go horse riding once in a while, but if its impractical then thats that. Cant really understand all the fuss. |
I'm 23 and I'll keep buying gas cars until I feel I've had enough of them. I really don't like the feel of electric cars and the lack of sound is unnerving. Good thing I've had the chance to own at least 12 gas cars of a wide variety in the span of 6 years and will continue buying them until there aren't any left. By the time gas cars are gone and I am 40+ I wouldn't mind riding in the back seat of my electric chauffeur driven or autonomous whatever S class or 7 series.
I just wish I was born a few decades earlier. |
youre an old soul lol, but I see your point. I mean i have no desire to own any all electric cars available today, but cars like P1, 918, i8 show where they can be. look at Tesla now from where they were 8 years ago, its a massive jump. IC engines have remained the same more or less, but the advancements in battery/electric technology has been tremendous. As they get lighter, smaller, more capable, it will become foolish to ignore them. problem is cars like Prius have left a bad taste. i am not sure I'll be able to resist an M that looks like an i8, is lighter, faster, with immediate throttle response. If its packadged right, I dont think Ill miss my IC engines that much.
