if anyone remembers the first led flashlights and then led light bulbs, they were not great either, but now that they are if I have a choice between led and incandescent, mostly I will use led.

exceptions for Lava lamps and ez-bake ovens

and sometimes the florescent tube ones are good also, like for motion sensitive outside lights so they start dim in the morning when you go outside.

I guess what I am saying is when electric cars get better and cheaper many people will choose them, but there will be use cases for gas and diesel powered vehicles

Honestly, 90% of Americans will be fine on EVs. You only need to use gas and diesel powered vehicle if you're transporting something cross country. But for rest of us, we go to work and then when we come home, we plug in the EV to the power grid so it will be fully charged in the morning.

You don’t drive light bulbs for your commute. Bad analogy.

We wouldn’t have EV’s if it weren’t for government mandates and subsidies. The electric vehicle argument was finally settled in the early 20’s when Studebaker was the last manufacturer to give it up.

If you want high power lights, Led can set you back 800 vs 50-100 for non-led

Even if they were free; they could STILL not overcome the physics involved.
