I can't believe either one of these happening?

C'mon all, let's at least try to stick to what should be the real topic of the thread ^^; and not get lost in discussing the virtues or drawbacks of electric Spyders &/or the politics of anything!

Facts on upcoming models
No need to guess what the upcoming models will be.Freely available press release from BRP dated 3/25/2021.
My thought is these will suck the funding from any of the existing lineup getting any meaningfull updates,possibly even ending some or all to make it happen. Ah well fun while it lasted if that's the case, we'll all just roll over and take it, that's what we do best............... or is it?
BRP TO INTRODUCE ELECTRIC MODELS FOR EACH OF ITS PRODUCT LINES BY THE END OF 2026
BRP to invest $300 million over the next five years to electrify its existing product lines by the end of 2026.
BRP to invest $300 million over the next five years to electrify its existing product lines by the end of 2026.
The first product is expected to be introduced to the market within the next two years, followed by a rapid roll-out across all product lines.
BRP is developing its Rotax modular electric powerpack technology in-house which will be leveraged across all product lines.
BRP is creating an Electric Vehicle Development Centre in Canada, which will focus on the “energy side”: the charger and the battery pack, as well as the complete integration into the vehicle, and a second pole of development in Austria, which will focus on the “torque side”: the inverter and the high performance electric motor.
BRP is actively recruiting to expand its EV team of experts.
Valcourt, Quebec, March 25, 2021 – BRP (TSX: DOO; NASDAQ: DOOO) announced its five-year plan where it will offer electric models in each of its product lines by the end of 2026. To achieve this, BRP plans to invest $300M over five years in product development, specialized equipment, infrastructure, production tooling and facilities.
“We have always said electrification was not a question of ‘if’ but a question of ‘when’. Today, we’re very excited to unveil more details of our plan to deliver market-shaping products that will enhance the consumer experience by offering new electric options,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO. “We are leveraging our engineering know-how and innovation capabilities to define the best strategy for developing electric-powered products,” he added.
After developing and evaluating several concepts, BRP has made the bold decision to develop its Rotax modular electric powerpack technology which will be leveraged across all product lines enhancing the consumer experience by offering new electric options. To achieve this, BRP is expanding its Rotax electric power unit development infrastructure in Gunskirchen, Austria, and is also creating the BRP Electric Vehicle Development Centre, located in its hometown of Valcourt, Quebec, Canada. This facility will feature state-of-the-art equipment, including several sophisticated test benches and dynamometers, plus an ultramodern robotized manufacturing cell for electric batteries.
“We are thrilled to create our EV expertise centre, taking steps into the world of electrification,’’ said Bernard Guy, Senior Vice-President, Global Product Strategy. “Experts on our EV team will feel the agility of a startup environment but will benefit from BRP’s financial resources and state-of-the-art equipment to design our in-house technology,” he added.
BRP’s electric path
In early 2019, BRP acquired assets of Alta Motors, an electric motorcycle manufacturer, and commercialized the Rotax Sonic E-Kart, which is currently in operation at the Rotax MAX Dome in Linz, Austria. A few months later, it showcased e-concepts at Club BRP 2019 to give a glimpse of what the future could hold for both its current product lines and for other potential segments. BRP has produced several battery-electric, hybrid-electric and even fuel cell-electric vehicles over the years. Today’s announcement brings BRP’s electric journey further into focus, with a clear vision and firm plans to roll out its electric products.
Expanding BRP’s electric vehicle development team
The R&D team is expanding quickly, and BRP is recruiting for several positions as it moves to the next phase of its electric propulsion technology development. With involvement from Quebec, Austria, Finland and the United States, BRP’s top talent worldwide, including hundreds of engineers and specialized technicians, will work together to develop and produce electric vehicles at BRP.

Really don't care about 2024 models. I'm just hoping rebates will be decent for 2023 F3T/F3L/RTL models. Heck, 2022's still available close by. Likely going this route over the winter.

I say no more matt finishes. I want nice shiny tupperware, that is easy to clean and maintain. If the stars line up this winter, I want a new RTL Chrome. Hopefully with better looking wheels, or the PPA ORB wheels and Vredestein's on the 2018 pictured below will go no the new Spyder. I kept the 2018 chrome wheels with Federal's incase they need to go back on. I really like the 2019 chrome RTL wheels that were on F3's also.

I wonder how Covid affected those plans?
Also, I really wonder about electric motive systems for jet skis. Water and electricity have traditionally not played well together.
Should be interesting to see how they solve all the issues of range, weight and charging across the model range. 2026 is not that far off.
