I once had a person unironically tell me they wanted to help curb climate change but didn't want to drive an electric car that looked like an egg.
You could just slot that right into one of these comics and it would fit.

I would question the engineers behind an egg shaped train car as well.

What. Electric cars look like...an egg? Was he from a different planet‽

Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, Toyota Prius, and the early Honda insights are all rather round. Especially the earlier iterations of the cars.

Probably he was thinking of something like a Twike.

So car manufacturers did not want EVs as they would require radical changes, but they wanted to show governments that they are also exploring the idea. So they purposefully made ugly looking cars with very low mileage then reported "see? No one wants EVs"
Tesla really changed that image and showed that EVs can look attractive and be practical.

To be fair I never really got why companies couldn’t bring themselves to make hybrid vehicles that just looked like normal cars. They did everything they could to make sure that electric cars remained kinda niche. This modern trend of just making existing, familiar models come with electric options is great. Even the weirdos who buy trucks are going for the Ford Lightning.

One way or another, the infinite growth market capitalism demands is unsustainable.
It's just pathetic that our species demands we prove that the hard way.

Seems like it's copying this old comic.

Just because the joke is similar doesn't mean one is copying the other. Versions of this joke exist in a variety of forms, and it's entirely possible that each creator thought of it independently, inspired by the events of the day.
This is even more on point.
And its like a decade old.
