Is this a negative comment by that guy? I take it as, "don't half-execute ideas". But it appears everyone agrees he's saying electric cars sucked then and will now.
I just find that hard for even dummies to fall for, we all know how much technology moves in a decade, nevermind a century.
Unless it's a satirical page, it's called "car enthusiasts suck", so I'd read it as "we got out muscled by big oil once before, let's not let it happen again".
Edit: In comparison, the famous Ford Model T went up to 42mph compared to the 25mph of this electric car.
It had a 10 gallon petrol tank which I can't easily find the fuel economy stats for. Needless to say I expect the range of the Ford to be much higher than the electric car.
For a lot of people, I imagine it would mostly have came down to the same arguments as today: range, size, and upfront cost.
The Model T was a humble 20-25 MPG, so it had a decent range of up to 250mi iirc
