I’m definitely a car guy, and I would love to one day own an Aston Martin. I really couldn’t see ever wanting an EV one though. I also own a Tesla so I’m not anti-EV or anything. EVs are just good transportation, they’re not that interesting.
I think it’s like with watch people. Everyone wants a mechanical one but they’re objectively worse for telling time than quartz.
- mensetmanusman 6y agoInteresting analogy in regards to watches. What makes it different is that never will governments not allow mechanical watches to be sold :)
- jdxcode 6y agoYou make a good point, from Aston Martin’s perspective they’ll have to adapt eventually. I think the future is bleak for them but I suppose we’ll see. Thankfully I likely will have the option of buying a used one for the rest of my lifetime.
- xiphias2 6y agoIf what you wrote would be true, Aston wouldn’t need to try to bash the competition. I bought a mechanical Rolex, it’s nice, but boring for me, so I don’t use it...I guess on the luxury/technology curve people have different needs.
- jdxcode 6y agoAs the other commenter mentioned they need to get governments to stop banning their cars if not competition. I’m not a watch guy, but people that own cars like this don’t drive them much either. They make awful daily drivers for a host of reasons, so it probably isn’t all that much different than your Rolex.
