It's been hilarious seeing companies like Stellantis moving in the complete opposite direction after disasters like the Dodge Daytona, scaling back their EV-only vehicles, axing their 4xe line, and even bringing back the Hemi after consumers demanded it (though they continue to placate regulators with the MEV "eTorque").
Toyota has also been bearish on the EV market precisely because of reactions like the one in that thread. They still have some options but mostly focus on hybrids.
There is a reality about infrastructure, demand, aesthetics, and expectations that EVs fail to meet in a broader, general sense; so the only people who really seem to want these are brainwashed "true believers".
It's also always disappointing seeing FIA try to force these into the seasonal divisions while audiences "nope" out. I still contend that the late 70s up to the late 80s was the best era of motorsports.
