I've already seen enough game changing technology inm my lifetime to understand change can happen quickly.
Wasn't too long ago the "Dick Tracy" talking watch was far fetched, now it is reality.
When it comes to EV, I don't own a Tesla or have any plans to buy one anytime soon. However I drove a friends Tesla and that experience changed my thoughts on EV. The Tesla is game changin g technology.
The idea of a car withincredible performance with no pistons,crankshaft,lifters or combustion of any sort is mind boggling and transformative.
Experience a Tesla for yourself and your opinion on EV and EV technology will change forever.
If you have not experienced a Tesla,you are thinking old school technology and you really can't grasp what all the EV fuss is about.
However once you exerience Tesla technology you will begin to understand what the fuss is all about.
I'm not suggesting you will run out and buy a Tesla or suddenly become a die hard Musky.
But you will have a much better understanding of what EV technology is about and where it is headed.
Short of a huge breakthrough in battery technology, RVs with similar capabilities are not happening in our lifetime.
"Dick Tracy" was like 80-90 yrs ago. Unless you are 400yrs old, yeah, it was a long time ago.
I had cars without pistons, crankshafts, lifters. Nothing particularly earth shattering about the idea. They were slot cars and solved the energy storage issue by electrifying the track. Electrifying our roadway system is an expensive proposition but technologically it does work.
Performance is a red herring. Modern 4 banger cars almost never use the full performance capability anyway.
