It is. I would prefer the advantages of a “cheap as possible but robust” basic car design. I want a car that is air gapped and not phoning home, that is electric (or good hybrid), and gets me from A to B. I want it to be reasonably comfortable and inexpensive to replace the parts, which comes about via mass production and minimized labor costs. Unfortunately almost all of those go against what car manufacturers want to do. That’s why I drive a 2010 corolla for now and until it blows up.
