Man I wish they'd sell an electric car without all the cameras, tracking and self driving stuff.

- hehehaha 6y agoThose are high-margin value-add features. I agree with you. I want a car that drives and nothing else.
- Faaak 6y agoHyundai Ioniq, Renault Zoe, VW IDx, at least
- puzzlingcaptcha 6y agoPlenty of small city cars to choose from too: Renault Twingo electric, Skoda CITIGOe, Volkswagen e-Up, Honda E...
- dairylee 6y agoDon't forget the Renault TWIZY.
- puzzlingcaptcha 6y agoArguably that's more like a four-wheel scooter. I generally draw the line at Smarts (although I think the new Twingo uses the same platform as Forfour).
- pornel 6y agoRenault Zoe is popular in Europe. It's just as "boring" as a regular Renault.
- nickik 6y agoYou don't have to use the sell driving but not not want the passive safety features that come with that seems kind of insane.
- yarcob 6y agoI'm not convinced Tesla's passive safety features are better than those of other companies. Given the track record of Teslas crashing into stationary obstacles, I'm not sure if they even use cameras for emergency breaking, or if it's just the radar based stuff every other car maker uses as well.
- wil421 6y agoMy Grand Cherokee has a radar unit that states the same warning about stationary objects. It appears the part is from Bosch and fit for Grand Cherokees and Durangos.
- Dirlewanger 6y agoI don't want a car with an Internet connection.
- akgerber 6y agoYou can buy a Kandi in the US today, often for under $10,000 after subsidies. https://www.kandiamerica.com/ https://www.kandiamerica.com/ It does have a backup camera, as basic camera modules and screens are essentially free now. If you're in an urban area, consider an ebike for a light electric vehicle without unnecessary frills that you can store in your home.
- jfengel 6y agoBackup cameras are now required on new cars in the US. https://abcnews.go.com/US/cars-us-now-required-backup-cameras/story?id=54854404 https://abcnews.go.com/US/cars-us-now-required-backup-camera...
- djrogers 6y agoUhh, the Kandi is an NEV. Not allowed on highways, speed limited to 25-35MPH by law, and has nowhere near the safety and crash test requirements of a 'real' car. For comparison, NEVs are normally literal golf carts with bigger motors.
- namdnay 6y ago??? They do. These features only exist on premium electric cars
