People like cars that can go 80-90 mph for hundreds and hundreds of miles while carrying 4 people. With crash protection.

Add electrics with thousand lbs of batteries, and you've got today's 4000-6000 lb SUVs, all costing an arm and a leg.

My 12 year old entry level sedan does all of that no problem.

Focusing just on gas cars: People wanted that ten years ago too (and twenty and thirty), so what changed?
