>I'm an enviromentalist and I'd still buy an ICE Porsche.
Environmentalists walk or ride bikes.
Environmentalists walk or ride bikes.
I am also an environmentalist and burn some fuel from time to time, I’m not a zealot.
For me to operate and support the environment the best I can I also need to be mentally fit and have life enjoinment. And riding my old classic carbureted Triumph helps me with that.
I can't see how buying a Porsche (or any car really) is compatible with that.
I'll note I've seen people struggling across the supermarket carpark to avoid buying a plastic bag only to get in a giant SUV. It's a form of moral licensing[1], there is a huge amount of dissonance around environmental issues.
A sports car, used fairly sparingly for fun, and not a daily driver - is different to the horrible trend of daily driving done via ugly, honkingly big SUV's.
There's a line somewhere out there that enables humanity to have fun and not destroy the planet ... probably related to the 80/20 rule.
