I'm reminded of a story I heard about two cowboys who stopped to drink at a stock pond (or "tank" as we cowboys call them). As the horses began to drink, they stirred up a bunch of mud. One cowboy walked around the water's edge until he got away from the mud and scooped up some clean water to drink. But then he glanced across at his buddy, who was kneeled down right between the two horses drinking the muddy water. So called over and said, "Hey, howcome are you drinking that muddy water? Why don't you come around here where it's clean?" Then the other feller said, "It don't matter none, I aim to drink it all anyhow!"
That's how I see cars. It doesn't matter if the first ones to go electric are cheap "people movers" or if they start out with pricey exotic sports cars or track cars. They'll all be going electric. :)
Also, I think the Silence will actually cost less than a gasoline-powered T-Rex. They've always been pricey.
