The argument here is about comfort, not impossibility. Someone who is comfortable driving a 5s 0-60 car just won't buy a 10s 0-60 replacement. Not because it is impossible to get to places in the latter but because it's uncomfortable.

If you want these people to replace their 5s cars with hybrids you need to offer 5s hybrids.
