I absolutely love tech shit and touchscreens and LEDs and…I’m a total nerd for many decades now. But in a car? I fucking hate it. I want haptic buttons. Period. My previous car was totally digital, I was weak, with complete digital cockpit and no fucking haptic buttons. I hated this car once the wow-factor wore off quickly. Sold it and got myself a tiny compact car with just android auto for navigation. The rest is haptic buttons. Basically no car above entry or compact level is like that anymore. I fear the future…

The windshield may be bug-free, but the car isn’t.

1990-2020 I can really see. 2050 not so much. But it will be less cars as poorer people, or people who only buy dumb cars will be left out. The good old mechanic things that last forever with good care are over. Now good luck to get a 7000,- cockpit replacement for your 15yrs old electric vehicle. Oh right, who cares, batteries are already borked.

Really depends on where. Computer with touch? Nope. Car? Nope. Phone? Both please. Tablet? Yes. Any kitchens appliance? Hell no.

The Musk Foundation didn’t do so well. Plus, allying with Garthe Knight was bad for their optics.

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 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.
