Nothing is perfect but it is clearly the future for most people. Gas cars will be around until we are old and gray because certain applications gas/diesel will always be a better tool for the job...

Being devils advocate here. Ask a blind person if they think a quiet car is a good idea. There’s a gentleman few miles from us I saw walking through a cross walk into a Tesla hitting it with his stick as he walked. Tesla was into the cross walk stopped at a red light so clearly not where it should be.
My uncle had a sticker on his helmet “loud pipes save lives” after a car hit him while he was stopped in a turn lane on a red light. There’s sometimes nothing that will help someone not paying attention but if the blind man could hear the car think it would’ve been different?
