I don't know how old you are but I remember the first first mobiles were the size of bricks and not one bit practical. I don't remember anyone at the time who believed such cumbersome tech would ever catch on. And it didn't until they became smaller and cheaper. But the phones we have today had to start somewhere to start to create a market by captivating those initial consumers.

The early stages of the internet, pre DNS, websites were only accessible via IP addresses (no google or domain names) which meant you had to carry a list of server numbers in your wallet. To check your email you'd have to have Unix terminal skills. No one believed it would ever catch on beyond the techies and nerds. Not to mention the first computers which were even more archaic with programs in punch cards!

The beautiful thing is, you don't have to get an electric car if you don't want to. But many people get excited about emerging tech and the idea of energy independence, which if you own a home and solar panels, an electric car makes a lot of sense. For those people the choice exists and will only get more better and more refined with time.
