Take a car with an internal combustion engine and replace everything that is needed for an electric car. Now you have a no-nonsense car.

Instead, we have a rolling data center that feels like a smartphone.

    All cars come with the same sensors and send the same data home. It has nothing to do with the engine.

    You wish to elaborate on that bold claim a little? Because there’s a ton of sensors that are present in combustion engine but not in EVs and they have everything to do with the engine.

      You completely missed the point. OP made a claim “EV cars have lots of gimmicks”, this comment is saying “so do non EV cars”.

        It’s not though. Perhaps that is what they mean which is why I asked for clarification but it sure is not what they said.
