And if you are so in love with a v8 M3. Guess what buy a e92 M3 now and keep it forever.

My plan is to get an M2 or a slightly used e92 M3 and keep it forever as it will be one of the last great drivers cars. And it will sit quite well next to the 2030 Tesla Model 3 that might be in my garage.
Its not progress. Its different. Electric cars have been around for 100 yrs. The motors overheat after a couple pulls, the batteries take forever to charge, limited range, etc. Its not progress, its different. Gas has been and continues to be the superior technology. Electrics have their place. Hybrids to supplement gas, etc. Electrics were considered more viable when gas prices trippled under Obama due to him subsidizing them and cutting off 32% of the world's oil reserves. But now with trump bound to recind the subsidies, federal lands going to reopen, and gas prices certainly to plummet, the look less and less appealing. Many car makers bet big on hillary winning, global warming being validated, and the current oil and subsidies to continue. They lost. This trend is also going to continue throughout the world it looks like with brexit, Italy, France, etc. So this agenda is outdated by a year or more realisically is predated by decades.
