P.S. Why can't we just have a simple 1990s-style Toyata truck with an electric drive train and a robust battery with well-designed and tested firmware that doesn't need OTA updates and smart phone app and telemetry? I don't need an 'infotainment center' if I have a phone or tablet, either. I would like to second this. A very very simple vehicle would be welcome. I have some small hope with the Slate truck[1], but will wait and see. For now my 2006 Toyota Rave4 is fine and might be my last car.
