I drove a Tesla (work related, not by choice) and you literally have to fucking scroll on a touch screen to change gears. Ignoring all of Elon musks other insane fascist bullshit, that alone deserves him a carbon fiber submarine ride to check out the titantic before it falls apart.

I don’t give a shit about electric cars anymore, I’m just not going to have a car. They’ll get me back when the gear shifter is done kind of a jacknife switch that throws sparks whenever I put it into drive.

I’m gonna be in the market for a new (to me) car soon and I’m looking to get something ~2015 and older because I hate all the new computer tech. All I want is Bluetooth, other than that I want a normal car not something designed by some dumb tech bro who’s never driven a car in their life.

I’m lucky enough that I’ve got a barebones 2003 that still runs great. Analog gauges, double DIN radio slot, and nothing else. Every time I get in a modern car, it’s information overload.
I don’t need a bell coddler. I need 4 wheels and a reliable engine.
Cars should be treated a lot more like factory equipment and a lot less like a living room on wheels.

The tradeoff is safety though. Surviving a crash without death or major injuries is much more likely in modern cars. ESP systems also decrease the likelihood of crashing in the first place.

I don’t own a car and I feel so incredibly privileged. Whatever shit they do with cars, I just don’t care. And I don’t need to pay for it.
