  1. New vehicles suck. Show me anything new, I'll tell you why its shit.

  2. Because they're shit and have garbage no one needs, they are insanely expensive.

If we must have electric, we need:

  1. Analog as possible. Preferably zero screens
  2. Zero connectivity.
  3. Repairable by me, the person who paid for the fucking thing.

That'll never happen, so I'll be using my old cars forever. Sad

This. I cannot abide these screen-laden spy machines. I just want a car with buttons and an electric engine, no "self-driving" or "smart" bullshit.
