I agree, there are electric vehicles coming out now. Also we need a minamilistic approach for the next decade.

I never claimed to be a celebrity, I play a game I love and that doesn’t make me any different. As for the other so called popular people, it’s not my prerogative. So to have a go at me with your preconceived notions needs to be given a second thought. 👍🏻
