How is that all electric?

(811 posts)3. No. Future models will be hybrid or electric
While they continue to make gas and diesel models based on current designs.
At some point (at an unannounced date), they will presumably phase out gas and diesel vehicles.

Usually takes about three or four years before a design is updated. So I'm guessing it will still take a couple decades before all-gas and diesel are phased out.
Expecting Rain
(811 posts)2. Not exactly true...
Only new models (as of 2019) will meet these standards, but they will still produce gas and diesel based on current designs.
