Of course there are plenty of millennials adopting these trends now too, but the boomers set the market for this direction.
Automakers will continue making compact sedans since many millennials are looking to purchase cheap sedans. Midsize sedans still have a market too. Large sedans are mostly a luxury segment. And plenty of two door coupes going away, sadly. I blame those that live in warmer climates for the disappearance of sport coupes. You don't understand if I was living in a warm area and didn't have to worry about winter I'd be driving a two door sports coupe year round.

You’re partially right. I know many Tesla owners..a few are relatives. The one common denominator, not all, seems to be the are environmentally conscious. Which
e-cars are marginally good for the environment anyway. In a close second is they think they’re saving money, which they are but it takes about five years before a Tesla actually starts paying for itself. The third reason is and I shit you not...they get really great parking where they work and free charging.
