Not every car needs to do everything. If you’re driving across the country on a regular basis then don’t buy an EV. If you need to haul mulch all the time then maybe Miata isn’t actually the answer.

If it doesn’t fit your usecase then I wouldn’t wait on EVs to cater to it, at least until electric infrastructure is ubiquitous. I think gas cars will be around for a long time yet.

As for the Canoo, Buzz and Microlino (which you didn’t mention but I think fits) there’s a trend towards going back to older style car designs because they’re now feasible. So I totally agree that it’s going to change, but I think there’s going to be a pretty big exploration of retro ideas.

As for the Aptera… Man. I would love for them to get off the ground and I actually really want one, but at this point I’m a little skeptical. And the cyber truck is a mess.

I agree on all counts. And I think it’s just a phase. EVs are here to stay in one capacity or another, and they’re going to go back to looking like normal cars once the novelty wears off.
