    No shit, people that wanted a boring car got a boring car and are satisfied with their boring car. Has anyone even claimed people are abandoning their EVs?
    Not that I mean boring as a slight, many people see their car as just a utility. It gets them from point A to point B maybe to point C then back to A at the end of the day.
    People that enjoy driving or “car culture” are going to have little interest outside of performance hybrids or electrified classics.

      I’m not sure that’s true. Maybe for like a Nissan leaf or something but the guys rolling around in cars with like the plaid performance packages and stuff are enjoying the road and teleporting over it. Getting motorcycle torque on demand in a sedan is pretty neat.

      That is admittedly not every EV owner though.

        You’re sort of just proving their point with that example. The people who own manual ICE cars enjoy a lot more about driving than just “put foot on pedal make go fast”.
