    Redirection is all that is needed here.
    They probably don’t even want that car, and are just looking for the next set of goals to achieve. It could just as easily be a kitchen remodel, or a holiday, but a new car was just the first thing that came to mind.

      I’m in a bit of a similar situation where we keep expenses below half our take home pay… that meant sacrificing on where we live, where we send the kids to school, when we go out to eat, etc.
      The outcome is a very comfortable level of surplus we can pretty much do whatever we want with, and no sense of urgency (motivation) to be aggressive with paying off the mortgage and invest because holidays, home renovations, a new motorbike, or just Netflix and Uber eats would be more immediately satisfying… every day reminding yourself to have that long game unlocked when you are comfortable is against our basic human nature.

    Do these people know that even if you have an electric car it still costs money to charge these things, whether at home or at a charging station. And a station usually takes 40 minutes....or more. And the electricity to charge it comes from some source. It doesn't magically appear out of thin air. So you're still using some energy source to produce your energy source.
