I could say the same. Show me where I said you actually want to see ICE eliminated. I did not say anything of the sort.

I said " You go on an on about the benefits of EV's and their future role in eliminating ICE". That is not saying you wanted ICE eliminated.

We can all recall you and your mate kmav23's constant former huge post barrage's basically doing Tesla's advertising for them to the extent they were virtually going to rule the car market.

It was interesting to note that you have now joined other members and dropped him like a hot spud. Also your basic views are now more congenial towards members.

But FYI past comments have espoused the view that ICE is on borrowed time, eg;

ICE will be around for trucking and rural but for city transport, it's becoming less and less relevant. Especially if the rest of the world embraces EVs, Australia will be forced to change or change to LHD to get legacy ICE.

I think the ICE is on borrowed time. I think the push to go electric is too strong especially with some of the timelines the European countries are outlining. As the price of EV's come down, most of the population will move to them for being cheap, easy to run and no servicing....They don't care for performance. Just something to get them from A to B

Just stating what was I could see was inevitable.

We are just at the infancy of EV technology improvements cost reduction which will accelerate hugely in the next few years.

All the money resources are being spent on EVs autonomy, even Apple, Google and big silicon valley companies are investing.

50% new cars in Norway are now EVs and they will ban them all new ice car sales 2025.

Elon is now the wealthiest man in the world, Tesla worth more than Facebook and the fifth most valuable company in U.S.

If your a car maker you spend all money on EVs development now. Ditto for those who wasted billions on hydrogen technology.

Just announced Apple and Hyundai will form partnership make EVs !

Apple has already spent billions past few years to make an ev car.
