I like cars to. That's why my daily driver is a Cadillac CT4. Yes I have an Equinox too, but unless I need the extra cargo space, the CT4 is much more fun to drive.

I'm probably not looking at the possibility of an EV anything for at least 3 - 4 more years - assuming that they prove to be more viable where I live, work and play by then.

On many technological things, I'm an 'early adopter'. Electric cars were attempted over 100 years ago and lost the battle to the internal combustion engine. I'm content to wait to see if the new attempt is truly a step in the right direction for more than an in city commuter vehicle.
They didn’t so much lose to gas cars as they lost to the tycoons of standard oil and the likes . I totally understand the reluctance of the electric car, believe me I hated these things.
But now that I’ve had some time with a TESLA it’s a differnt story.
I’ve been in other EVs even hybrids it’s just NOT the same thing.

It’s kinda like how space X and elon not just flew rockets as others (countries only of course) had , but they then decided to LAND the used up parts of the rockets on a small X out in the ocean over and over again
Reducing cost That was an amazing thing to even attempt never mind to accomplish.

It’s just not the same as what others are doing it’s thinking outside the box.

Not everyone is gonna “get it” I know I didn’t so I don’t fault anyone else for not getting it either . It’s like chess Vs checkers w Tesla Vs the rest. A lot of people know chess is harder than checkers but until you really enjoy chess you don't realize how different.
With EVs - Everyone else is just trying to copy those who actually blazed the trail and that’s Tesla
