One of the greatest car collectors on the planet, Jay Leno, was asked his thoughts on electric cars. After making a couple jokes about how they aren’t a new idea and we had them before we had gas, he made a statement that showed he really understands all sides of this.Elon's not coming after car collectors, people who like to play with old cars can do what they want. I look at it this: way: Some people still play around with horse-drawn carriages, but most people don't use horses to go shopping or get to work. Unless you think the Amish are on the leading edge of modern trends. ?
He said that at one time we all rode horses. And they were treated, for the most part, as a tool. But when cars came along, they didn’t eliminate horses, but they elevated them to pets and well cared for animals. Cars make horses and their lives better. He then said that electric cars will do the same for gas powered cars. They’ll still exist, but they will be something we collect and restore. It will be a hobby, and those that remain will be well cared for, like pets.
Brilliant.
