GM sells out first year of electric Hummer production

I think is a good example of how the narrative around EV's is shifting.

When Tesla first started to gain traction people talked about them like they were a company that wanted to save the world. People talked about EVs like driving one was an altruistic endeavor for the future of mankind.

Now if someone as, like you said, individualistically isolationist as an EV Hummer can sellout then that's a sign the narrative around EV are changing as they become more mainstream.

Indeed! I hope this de-politicizes EVs. There's plenty of good isolationist reasons to go EV. And performance reasons.

The only time I think IC vehicles are useful are for the power density of gas, which should just be super-long trips with no infra.
