Are Electric Vehicles the New Quartz Watches?

So, a series of awful circumstances lead me to owning a Tesla. The INSANE rebates and Tesla’s discounts made this car cost me less than $24k new. Honestly, I think that is exactly what it is worth. For note: Elon is awful and I kind of hate myself for owning this car. However…it is amazing. I am not a car person. I don’t drive fast. I just need a reliable way to get to work. There is no romance about cars for me…usually. This basically runs on a upscaled version of my toothbrush. It runs on software that looks like my 2017 Android. But it is an amazing car. I love my Speedy, but it makes no sense as a watch if you don’t love watches. A smartwatch costs 1/10th the price and is massively more functional for most people. A Timex is 1/100th and equally functional. Are we about to enter a period where EVs become stupid cheap to build (Imagine a car version of a $500 Amazon Ebike. $7-8k easily.)? Will we romanticize a gas engine the way we do a mechanical watch? My thoughts? Absolutely.
