You list 2 SUVs in your profile though... I'm assuming you have a vehicle like you described above in your garage somewhere.

In all fairness though. I will continue to own an ICE vehicle along with my BEV for as long as I can afford to do so and as long as there are ICE vehicles I like with a manual transmission. However I don't see any compelling reason to go back to ICE for my daily driver unless it's strictly a cost issue.
I think a lot of these people haven't driven a Tesla or even other EV and just like to dunk on them where they think they can.

The idea that a Model 3 Performance, for example, is less fun to drive than some huge SUV with an automatic transmission is highly questionable.

BMW will make EVs, most people here will eventually buy them, and 95% of them will not look back. Obviously, ICE cars will still have niches and play a role for a long time.
