It will never practically work unless there is some fundamental new technology to store electrical energy, and the periodic table says no.

Gabe Newell made billions with steam! You're all stupid!

There are many who have suggested replacing the fuel intensive takeoff with electric ramps, similar to what the do on aircraft carriers. The problem is most people could not handle 3-4 gs.

But, there could be a detachable battery pack that disconnects after takeoff to fly back to charge as a drone.

There is nothing in labs to even suggest that battery capacity in the next 20 years.

I raced in many forms of motorsports since I was 12, even worked a year in F1. I like reading about technological advancements. I could afford any car. I worked years in luxury cars before attending university. On public roads, cars are appliances to get from A to B. I want efficient and reliable. Speed is for tracks.

But since the 1920s, cars have been marketed as status symbols to society, to the point people regard them as an extension of who they are and how they want to be perceived. As such, there is an entire psychology thesis on what personality disorders drive certain vehicles. Stereotypes happen for good reasons. People see pickups, sports cars, SUVs, but you're really seeing insecurity, narcissism, tribalism, even racism, and posturing. I saw the spreadsheets on financing and default rates enough to know most people are driving cars they cannot afford because it's so damned important they make you think they can.

Sprinters...the only modern vehicles that do not electroplate the steel.

Because the Detroit options are hot garbage and everyone knows it. Plastic oil pans...great job Ford and AUDI.

Best car Honda ever made.

Timing chain.

1153 and 36/127ths. Simple.

Screen addicts want car screens. Look at Tesla crash rates, higher than any other brand, 3 years in a row.

Look at a Gen 2 Nissan leaf.
