How much longer will cars as we currently know them exist?

[Ford17]

We as consumers, and car manufacturers more so, have been lucky in that everything now is essentially the same as it has been for many decades - being vehicles run on petrol, use oil and have internal combustion engines; plus we are allowed to drive them ourselves.

Something like Tesla though has the ability to change everything as we know it; and if their technology is improved, and eventually gets filtered down to other manufacturers cheaply, then very fast & efficient cars will become readily available.

If so, it will also probably reduce what we currently have to antique status very quickly.

With technology changing quite rapidly, could it be foreseeable a Falcon sitting in a shed in 20 or 30 years' time might be something of an antiquated museum piece?
