I think this is the fundamental disagreement.

Preserving the ICE is like preserving the cigarette. The cigarette's place in classic culture, in classic movies and nightlife, is profound.

Doesn't make me sympathetic one little bit. Petrol engines, cigarettes, it's fundamentally unhealthy, get rid of it.

If Ferrari is unwilling to convert to electric automobiles, then Ferrari can go the way of Marlborough.

> Preserving the ICE is like preserving the cigarette

That's a silly comparison IMO

Ferrari engines are not dangerous for anybody

Anyway, human life is unhealthy for the rest of the World, would you get rid of that too?

Ask mega fauna if you disagree.

> then Ferrari can go the way of Marlborough.

So much nonsensical bitterness...

You know that every car is made of toxic products and they can't stop using them, in your opinion is it more unhealthy 2 thousands Ferrari every year or millions of Volkswagen, their tires and motor/brake oil (which are highly toxic)

Should we get rid of VolksWagen too?

Dogmas are stupid.

Considering that Italy will be hit hard by climate change, I find this a weird opinion to hold for an Italian. Last thing I heard there's no garbage pickup in the capital city in Rome, so these Ferrari companies must somehow forgot to pay their taxes a lot or?

We cannot solve every problem right away.

But constantly improving, in many small ways, and chipping away at issues is how we make the world a better place.

Certainly I think phasing out ICEs, especially on public roads, is essential.

The Ferrari business model of producing highly polluting sports cars, when there are far more efficient electric models that can run on wind power, is not a positive direction to be traveling in.
