Well, if he's so environmentally conscious I sure hope he doesn't buy a new electric car every year, and (to be fair) it doesn't sound like that from the article (the "What I'd buy" section starts with "Suppose a meteorite hits [his current car]"). But yeah, the fact that many people still can't afford an EV seems to have slipped his mind...

If a meteorite hit his current car, he could buy a luxury EV (or two) with the proceeds he got from selling his meteorite and collector car. I've only ever heard of one over such car, and it fetched a very high price for its 17-year-old owner.
