Over the last 10 years they have been the best at F1 so I give them high marks on recent motorsport history, pretty high on enthusiast marks but see little bearing on what this means for me as the buyer going forward.

Couldn't agree more with you there David. In my ideal world, my ICE + MT cars would be my fun/weekend cars. My daily driver would either be a Tundra PHEV (if there's anyone I trust in this regards, it's Toyota) or a full blown electric truck like Rivian. If you have the means and the space, I think an electric vehicle is very complimentary to a fun ICE vehicle. Neither can do the other job as well at this moment IMHO.
