... and pneumatic tires. I'll admit I threw AC, airbags, and power windows in for comedic value, but as for the rest of those, my car definitely does not have them. It's not just which gizmos, but also the specific gizmos. If your car's audio has two speakers, versus a dozen woofers, tweeters, and what-not, more things can go wrong. If there's split front/rear AC, more things can go wrong. If your car has a motor to move the seats, more things can go wrong. When I sit in a Tesla (or many luxury cars), it has about three or four times as many things to break as my much more basic car. And when they break, they take a lot more to fix. I don't want that. If someone still sold a VW Bug classic, or an old-school Ford Truck, I'd be driving that. Or to be fair, the one thing on the list I do want is bluetooth. I'd trade my fancy-schmancy power windows for bluetooth if I could.
