I like cars, I like the idea of EVs, I fucking hate modern cars (post 08 give or take) so imagine my opinions on most EVs. Just give me an electric Mule or a converted old beater I'll be happy, if it's basically anything else I better have the capacity to turn it into an EV equivalent of a dune buggy because I do not respect modern car design in the slightest, don't care if it's Chinese, Japanese, European, or American they all have shitty interiors an over reliance on electronics and generally have too many "comfort" features designed to compensate for incompetent design or drivers.

That would be a 2016-2019 Nissan Leaf. No bells. No whistles. No problems.

Stupid design and interior.
