I have no real technical reason for not wanting an electric. After all, they can have stellar performance, can certainly be amazing handlers, and can be configured for a lot of really luxurious features. It's the entire vibe that gets me. I see these shots of the Tesla 3's interior and...it looks like a not-car. Which I understand is entirely what Elon Musk wants, for us as consumers to abandon the very idea of a "car" as we know it and embrace a "car as service/cell phone" future. And there is a certain futuristic, Star Trek Next Generation look to the interiors of some of these beasts. But, man, I _like_ my car to look like a car. I like gauges, virtual or analog. I like lots of buttons and dials. I like levers and pedals and stuff. I like the sound of engines, the rumble of the powertrain, the vibration that allows your body to sense handling and acceleration and all that.
I guess I'm just a 20th century industrial type of guy at heart.
