Thought this was entertaining though my heart breaks around the 4 minute mark.

If you're sobbing over all the electric models, I think she said it would be an option in all models, not that it would be the only power plant option.

Ditto comment from duplicate thread:

I think she said electric or hybrid.

Seriously, just overall end of an era for cars in general. I'm excited to be witnessing history but lamenting a little. I can't imagine the hybrids will have the same Kitty Roar. Time will tell.

Other than the quite irritating voice of the announcer, a good video.

I'm looking forward to the electrification of cars as they will have fewer moving parts and instant torque.

Actually for city or town use they would be great. Hopefully they will also keep exotic type designs . Also looking at the Tessler performance numbers there is no problem there. The only problem I see is we won't be able to do a straight trough run from NY to Florida.

Yep, the lack of infrastructure outside of major cities will have to be addressed and I presume some type of rapid charging system for the vehicles will be forthcoming.

Nah, just pull a trailer with a gas generator on board and a 50 gallon fuel tank.
You can be recharging while driving, and you'll be good to go anywhere.
