Porsche vs. Tesla

Added on by Chris Saad.

People (especially Robert) have asked me why I don’t drive an electric car - particularly a Tesla. Here’s my thinking...

Remember when horse riding was a thing people did out of necessity, and now it’s a sport and novelty?

That’s the difference between a Porsche sports car and a Tesla with its self driving tech.

As a practical car that gets you from A to B, probably nothing beats a Tesla. It drives itself!

As a thing you do as a hobby/sport/activity in and for itself, nothing (for me) beats a Porsche. You drive IT.

I don’t have a commute, so that’s why I’m comfortable driving a car with a combustion engine every now and then. I believe, in the future, a few classic relics (used infrequently) will be fine. But the vast majority of travel and power must come from clean sources.
