To your point, I own 3 vehicles, and the newest one is 17 years old. One of them is from the last millennium! It has windows you have to manually crank and it doesn't even have direct fuel injection - it's the old-fashioned throttle-body fuel injection!
One of my problems with today's EVs isn't with the EV technology itself, it's all the tech they're putting on today's cars. Cameras everywhere. Lane assist. You name it, today's cars have it and it's making their useful lifetime way less than it should be given the simplicity of their drivetrain. More money, less reliability. No thanks!
Make me the equivalent of an 00s Honda Civic but is an EV? That's what I'm looking for! I don't need, nor want, all the rest of this crap.

- kkfx 2y agoI follow your point a bit: I do hate not owning the vehicle, because that's is, newer cars are not of their formal owner but of the OEM. Nevertheless most people do not care, they do not even understand the difference between something they own and something they can only use as long as the OEM allow them to, but they do know prices, they know something is sold at way too big price especially if it have a way too short useful life...
