Very funny mix of GenZ and postmodern thinking - from GenZ it is like "I want to signal to everyone (myself including) my connection to history without actually investing into, by buying an insta-history new thing" and from postmodern -"things are what I decide to call them, if I call apple a banana it is a banana" now.
I don't care about signalling anything to anyone. I grew up with a Commodore 64, and to me the value on a Commodore 64 is primarily nostalgia.
A connection to history is irrelevant to me. Something which triggers my nostalgia and which I enjoy using is not, and that does not require perfect accuracy (if anything, nostalgia often favours avoiding perfect accuracy on favour of avoiding nuisances)
I certainly do have no interest in "investing", no, because investment or history is not the point to me.
If I had the choice between an electric Ford T and an authentic one, I'd certainly prefer the electric one. That's be an interesting curiosity - Ford worked on one which was never launched, and his wife drove an electric car -, while an original one would be something I'd have no interest in outside a museum.
Then you should get worked up so much, about not calling it C64. You should be fine then it is not Commodore 64, but just a gimmick that has nostalgic value for you, but not in any way actual Commodore 64 (which it clearly is not).
BTW, good luck reselling your model T as actual model T LOL.
I don't care what you call it, but to me it's still a Commodore 64, and not a gimmick, and I could just as well tell you not to get so worked up over someone else not caring about your purist insistence it is not.
Reselling an actual model T with an electric motor as an actual mode T with an electric motor would work just fine. Some would lose interest because it's been changed, some would find it more attractive. For my part, I'd find it far more interesting and be willing to pay more for something esoteric like that.
I not being worked up about your opinion, you are entitled to. What I am saying that it should not be advertised as a real thing, as a brand new C64. As simple as that.
Enjoy your electric Ford-T!
