All these super high powered electric cars are neat but I think this is going totally the wrong directions. This could be used as an opportunity to rethink cars in general and hopefully switching to smaller and more efficient cars. Instead cars are becoming even bigger and heavier. In terms of environment this is also a bad trend. EVs don’t pollute while driving but the energy still has to come from somewhere.
- t0mbstone 6y agoFor true mass adoption and real progress to happen, you have to overcome the notion that electric power is for "sissies". It's a real problem that is very prevalent, especially in more rural areas. I agree with you that building a bunch of electric supercars isn't the ideal long-term plan, but you have to admit that Tesla's roadster and their very fast cars have had an enormous impact when it comes to driving adoption and combatting the negative perceptions around electric cars. Psychology is a huge factor when you are talking about progress and convincing an entire population to switch their way of thinking.
