Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is a car guy, but he rules out ever getting an electric vehicle.
Seinfeld scoffed at electric vehicles in an interview withAir Mail.
“I’m not interested in electric cars at all. Anybody else wants to do it, that’s fine,” he said.
“I think it’s a big, stupid virtue signal. ‘Look at me. I’m saving the planet, yeah.’ What about the lithium? It’s all BS,” he added, reflecting the argument that the damage done making the battery offsets the lack of pollution while driving.
As for self-driving cars, he had a joke when asked about them.
“I always tell my kids that their kids will say to them, ‘You mean, when you grew up, they would let people just drive at any speed and steer the car themselves? Didn’t they just crash and kill themselves constantly?’ Yeah,” he said.
Seinfeld said his once-vast Porsche collection is not what it was, but still remains large.
“How many do I have? I don’t know. I always say it’s an amount that if you looked at it, you would not say, ‘This makes sense,’” he said.
In the interview, he recalled the beginnings of his collection.
“It began around 1991, when my TV series was picked up for its first, very small order. I think four episodes. That was when I first acquired some money I did not need,” he said, noting that he bought a 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster.
