I like elemental cars without bloated features as well, but most new cars both ICE and electric have screens and the like. I don't think this is unique to EVs.

- ReinholdNiebuhr 9y agoFair. But that's not totally why I dislike my electric car (Nissan). I mention the modern stuff just to highlight the car has significantly better entertainment systems. The nissan compared to the gas (a porsche) is an unfair fight. However I haven't been impressed with tesla when test driving them as well. It's the drive, idk. I know tesla is trying to solve that but so far I haven't been impressed.
- icantdrive55 9y agoI have a feeling simple vechicles (one computer, and maybe a powertrain computer) will be coveted in the near future. I have a nineties dodge Dakota that I was going to just run into the ground. I never loved the truck, and used to think it was complicated to work on. After looking at new vechicles, the nineties cars, and trucks are comparatively simple. I grew up fixing my own cars, and couldn't imagine paying someone to work on my vechicles. I don't like the complexity of the newer vechicles I'm looking at. The wealthy will have no problem having a dealership spend 3-hours calibrating the sensors on a bumper, at $240/hr. I couldn't imagine spending so much. Even if I had the money spending $2400 to replace a bumper is just crazy. (A buddy of mine called me up, and let the price of his bumper replacement slip out. I told him they must have done more. Well, I looked up his make/model, and that is roughly the going rate. And yes, it went right on his credit card.)
