Jerry Seinfeld isn't interested in driving electric.

"I always say it's an amount that if you looked at it, you would not say, 'This makes sense.'"

Seinfeld's first Porsche was a 1958 356 Speedster, which he said he bought after his paycheck for the first four episodes of "Seinfeld" and used as his daily car for years.

"I didn't really know anything about older Porsches, but I just thought, Well, this car has nice lines," he admitted. "I also thought, I'm sure you could never drive a car like this on the street; it must be ridiculous. And I ended up using it as my daily driver in L.A. for years on end."

Seinfeld also isn't a big fan of modern car design in general.

He mused that "what's missing is confidence."

"There's nothing sadder when you when you see older BMWs from the early 2000s or the '70s and '80s and you see that confidence, and now they're just screaming at you with that horrible absurd cartoonish ideas of design that just like, just no design at all but Paganis and things of that nature."

He said the designers think they're being "exotic and dramatic and they're embarrassing. Is there anything cool anymore?"

The former athlete had been asking Seinfeld whether he thought each topic he brought up was "something or nothing" as a reference to "Seinfeld," and the word "nothing" was captioned in the video after his response.

"I'll race you," Hernandez said, laughing. "I know they're fast," Seinfeld answered.
