@@TomTom-cm2oq YES! If we wanna move away from ICE cars and get the net 0 we need far more boring cars than we need super cars. Most people cant afford super cars, most people buy boring cars. If those boring cars become electric then we'll be well on our way to net 0. So yes make electric super cars all you want, but make sure you have a boring cheap car to sell first, as most people will buy that.

@Orangeman do you own a Tesla? There is nothing holding it back. If you are worried about the range you can get the battery extension with 370 miles. There's a supercharging network for road trips and you're full battery every morning because you're charging at home, just like a phone.
@Orangeman I've had a Model S for 5 years here in Australia. Done 140,000kms, including several multi-thousand km road trips (one to Tasmania!) Rented an Model X in London a few years back and toured France, Germany, Switzerland and back. Electric is here already, and you will love it.
