And yes I’m an electric skeptic.
The “there will be something better by then” argument I’ll counter with - but then it won’t be stock…

its not like hybrids are new, there are 15-20 year old hybrids driving around with no issues, no battery replacement needed, 200+k miles etc, etc. hell i did the brakes on a gen2 prius the other day, 190k miles, factory brake pads. amazing. still getting 45+mpg.
and that was on 25ish year old battery tech (few year delay from spec to production). like all these questions have been answered.
i really dont get the skepticism of these things, a 996 has way more reliability issues 20 years on than a prius. hell a battery for one is less than a clutch job. a refurbished/rebuilt prius battery is about 1200 dollars. you can get used ones for under a grand.
EDIT: you can just admit you dont like hybrids, instead of invent more 20+ year old, easily debunked, "technical" reasons for not buying one. you can just be like "yup, dont like em" instead of make up a fictional world. i know, this would force you to admit you have emotions, and that you have emotional preferences, but making up **** to justify your emotional choices is not healthy.
