Electric and gas are simply not the same.
Comparing the smooth, precise acceleration of a Tesla Plaid with its premium advanced technology to the visceral emotions that a 700HP gas-powered beast drums up is just not the same. You can feel the sound and vibration of a monster supercharged engine screaming as it violently pitches you forward.
It's the same reason why people buy Harleys instead of advanced Japanese superbikes, and it's the same reason why Harley sued Honda for copying their archaic engine design so that it would have the same vibration and sound (https://www.thedrive.com/article/11345/remember-when-harley- https://www.thedrive.com/article/11345/remember-when-harley-...).
This CEO is making a big mistake by completely eliminating them instead of just reducing their production numbers. It seems to be more of a political move than a smart business decision; just because he doesn't like that surge of emotion and raw fury emanating from a big-block V8 doesn't mean that others won't pony up big bucks to get it.
