Well, actually, I found your post to be mostly in agreement with me.

So it could be said they are an average car (in the sense that their quality is neither exceptional nor bad enough to be considered poor).

> EVs are not for everybody. But if they fit your automotive use case, when you need a car for transportation duties rather than the kind of pleasure that comes from driving a high-performance combustion-driven vehicle, they are so clearly the future.

We do agree they are the future, keyword being future. If you buy one today that's what you want to be seen as buying and are ready to suffer the pain points for it. That's what I call making a statement.
