Not to sound too conspiratorial minded, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re using this sort of thing just to keep us from being able to travel too far from our homes. During the pandemic we drove all over the country, and even made two trips from our home in Central Kentucky to Seattle and back. You couldn’t do that practically with an electric car. Even the ones with a decent range.
I’m old enough to remember the ads for seeing the USA in your chevrolet. We love driving around great distances and enjoying the trip. And we’re free to do so at our leisure and go wherever we want to. It’s not quite as freeing as being on a motorcycle, but surprisingly close.
Maybe in attitude.
I have done cross country trips (several more than 2500 miles one way) on a motorcycle.
A "cage" (enclosed vehicle) is much more capable, comfortable, and safer, just because of the weather, not to mention other vehicles.
