Bulk of EV discussion (eg pros, cons, adoption etc) in this thread please:

Some of you may have already fully embraced the EV era, so you could care less about ICE, but I'm sure there's a lot of us in here that aren't ready for it just yet. And while one day this will be all we know, for our children and grand children even more so, ICE support (spare parts included) should still be alive and kicking for years to come, so we should still be able to pollute the environment, albeit probably with road tax shot through the roof.
So ICE will soon phase out and although we aren't there just yet and chances are the dates will be pushed back as they usually do (because profit), but in case they don't and the planet does become top priority for once, how do you see yourself in 10 years with respect to your future cars? Are you going to keep your most favorite ICE car just so you can still enjoy blasts from the past every now and then? Are you going to keep two? Are you going to keep them all? Or are you going to treasure them all in your heart and move on? After all, as strong as this bond may be, the future is right there, and there's still so much that awaits you, new experiences to live and new memories to make. EV memories.
I'll go first.
The Nissan GTR has always been one of our most iconic cars and we've always wanted to have one. Nissan is currently working on what will probably be the last ICE GTR that we see. After that, it may either phase out entirely or transcend to the EV era like the Porsche Taycan Turbo (no actual turbo involved, it's just a marketing thing), but even if it does transcend, it won't be the same.
Well my wife and I aren't ready for the new era, and we wanna have one last performance car in our garage, but it has to be special, it has to be powerful and reliable. We're thinking the last 2022 Nissan GTR could be the one and perhaps with lots of pampering and attention, it could be with us for decades (at least as long as we have support and fuel available), and be something we can show our children and grand children and say this is how great cars used to be. But at the same time we're ready to give EV a chance, so next to the GTR we'll definitely have a couple EVs.
How about you?
