Why would anyone still buy a dinosaur engine car is beyond me. Electric cars have a higher top speed and accelerate faster.
People want that because they can, because of the image it gives, because society somehow associates some of those older riskier tech as "more manly/showing strength", and because no matter how much money you have we have a need to strive for that one next thing we can't get yet, which is why the richest people are all trying to go to space or change the world in whatever way.
- The cars we're discussing here are anything but "older tech". Ferrari has been consistently at the vanguard in terms of making fast cars. I guess you could argue that they're older in that they're ICE based, but then, consider that the first Porsche was an electric car, electric is actually older tech than ICE ;)
- Different people have different reasons to prefer vinyl, but one thing I don't think can be argued against is that, as a music storage medium, vinyl is a lot more resilient. I have records from when my grandmother was young and I can still play them just fine, yet she's been dead for a few years. I have lost files from my first computers (30+ years ago) and there's no way to get those back. Of course, my grandmother never made backups of her records, and I can even get an idea of what music they have without electricity: I can always just put it on the turntable and manually spin it. For archiving purposes, vinyl wipes the floor with any digital format IMHO.
Still, I think your point stands, it's only the analogy that may not be the best :)
Charging in general is a hassle if you live in the city. You might need to park in a different neighbourhood just to let your car charge while you're at home.
For many use cases, EVs just aren't practical.
First I've often enough been told that high performance cars weren’t the most comfortable, and the mere risk of it breaking down somewhere in the middle of nowhere without any certified garage in the area (which is the case of most places) would make me think twice.
But to each their own, I guess.
Also, notwithstanding Dinoco, oil does not come from dinosaurs.
I'm concerned about all the batteries we'll have to dispose of if we transition to only electric vehicles.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think the only sustainable option long-term is to give up having individual engine-powered transportation, ICE or otherwise (and I say this as someone who loves cars).
