Unless you can afford to buy a new car every few years, this video tells you why buying an ICEV now is a very bad idea:

Of course, the other side of the equation is the financial impact on legacy automakers, which implies their EV transitions will be significantly more costly the longer they delay going fully EV.
 
The financial impact on legacy auto makers, is already happening.

you dont think a manufacturer like VW wouldn't have taken the EV car market in to account already?
they are only one of the more advanced and leading manufacturing & automobile makers in the world

That only matters to some people, to others it is all about the bottom line, that what got us into this mess. :xyxthumbs
We are just fortunate that toilet paper is still made here.
Hopefully with the advent of EV's, some part of the process can be carried out here, other than just digging holes.

Those jobs are already there, I was suggesting new jobs, ones that might be more technically challenging.
Ones that lead to manufacturing jobs, near population centres, unlike the present ones, where people have to fly to where the hole in the ground is.
Jobs that drive technical, scientific and engineering excellence, that improve educational and social outcomes.
Or we can do as you say, just get a job with a company that digs hole, until all the holes are dug.
