Braindead take. ICE cars all do the exact same shit. This stuff has NOTHING to do with the powertrain of a vehicle.

Nobody said that ev's have that shit because they're evs. It's a new car thing, and unfortunately there aren't many electric cars that are old enough to not have this stuff (ignoring Tesla, since they kinda started the trend and and also because they're nazis).

Tesla started this because they oversold EVs for years on the highest profit margins in the industry. They filled the cars with gadgets and screens to add the perception of value because car buyers are morons.
