My hope is that at some point before petrol engines more or less die off (2030?) we can reach a point where EV tech is substantially lighter and we get a few good years of semi-lightweight hybrids. Maybe just in time for the Reveulto SVJ or whatever they decide to pump out.

McLaren seems to be trying hard to keep the weight down so kudos to them - the Artura is clocking in at only 3400 pounds and that bodes well for whatever the 720 replacement will be.
I think we'll be pleasantly surprised to find that alternative fuel combustion engines will be just as much the future as ev. The government just has their hands too deep into their "investments"
