I love ICE's.
But I understand they have to go :(
They make EV that make vroom vroom noises. Come on. You really missing the lack of torque?
Its not about the performance or whatever. Its about how amazing it is that the things work at all. Pieces of metal flying up and down, going round and round, opening valves, closing valves, spraying atomized go-juice mixed with air at with amazingly precise timing and amounts....
Its a miracle they don't just blow up 2 seconds after you start them. But instead they keep on going for hundreds of thousands of kilometers without much issue.
*with regular maintenance
EV are almost maintenance free. EV drivetrains can easily thrive a million kilometers with minimal maintenance. The batteries will likely die first.
Yeah I know, I used to be a car mechanic lol.
I mean I'm not trying to argue that ICE is better than EV. Thats why I said that I completely understand that ICE's are dinosaurs, looking in the sky wondering what that light, that is getting brighter, is. I like ICE's for emotional and weird reasons, not because they are easy to use, easy to fix, easy to run etc.
