Obviously you will never buy a electric car and I can understand why it’s not for you. Like it or not Electric cars are here to stay and gaining market share every day. Look at Ford , GM and VW to name a few and it’s full steam ahead for ALL car manufacturers . Internal combustible engine (ICE) sales will decline as more EVs ( electric vehicles) are produced.
Long distance driving will require more stops but normal every day driving these cars are the best for many reasons. Range will increase and charge times will decrease every year.
1. Never say never...

2. I didn't said I didn't like the fact that they are gaining market share (minuscule as it may be)...

3. For "normal every day driving these cars are the best for many reasons. Range will increase and charge times will decrease every year." That is certainly an opinion. One in which millions of people disagree. But "if" range increases and charging times decrease" to a level I deem acceptably, I might share that opinion...

4. When they are a viable form of transportation, at a reasonable cost, without subsidies (which I'll probably never receive), I'd certainly consider one. I have several friends who have Teslas and they love them for what they are. Local transportation, 50-100 miles a day. The wife and I often take long road trips and there is currently no serious option for that scenario. When there is, my thoughts may change...
