Yeah and they're also leaving out that the men typically buy electric because they are insanely fast, have low 0-60 times and is something new to modify and tweak on. The aftermarket parts and tuning options are currently exploding in popularity with the same consumer base even with the manufacturers locked down ecosystem.
