Your son is the exception. By and large, "millennials" think cars are for transportation and are appliances like washing machines. I firmly believe that generation X will be the last one with car lovers represented in good numbers.

Besides, there is a realistic scenario where self driving cars, electric or otherwise, lead to prohibitive insurance costs and increasingly less roadways left available for drivers, with the endgame of driver cars being regulated away and only being allowed on private property, much like horses today. Would become a hobby for the rich and the extravagant. If electric cars do become prevalent, that'll make it even worse, faster. That's not an outlandish tin foil hat fantasy, I'd say it's the relatively more likely scenario really.

Not to say that this would impact 911 prices any time soon, but I think the sky will very much fall at some point in the future.
