> Talk is cheap. The same applies when validating any product and people tell you they will "buy" it. But when you ask them to pay, they are nowhere to be found. I think the talk is less cheap when a person is saying that they WON'T buy something though. I'd contend that people are more likely to NOT buy something they say they won't buy than to buy something they say they will buy. > Using your same analogy, this also means that I have chosen not to vote by not buying any of the luxury German of Japanese sedans. I could have bought a Tesla but decided not to. There were many reasons but that screen was one of them. > You are also not being forced to buy these cars, so why the vitriol? Vitriol? All I said was I'm unhappy about the trend, wouldn't buy a car with it, and expressed that, in the likely vain hope that someone managing these companies is listening, because it's limiting my choice for future cars. Same as you're expressing your love for the design. Also all the phoning-home is something I won't be a part of. When my current car reaches EOL, I think I'll have trouble finding a newish car because of these horrible user-hostile trends.
