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.

    Their point is that you are just nostalgic for old cars, simpler cars. All modern cars are overcomplicated, EV or not

      yes, but a lot of that overcomplication is for safety at least.

      you’re much more likely to survive a big car crash in a car from today, then are you are from a car 60 years ago.

      Also less likely to lose traction on wet roads and skid off than you were half a century ago.

      that isnt meant to say everythings sunshine and roses, like all that equipment that enables spyware bullshit they gather on you and sell to insurance companies and marketers.

      the problem is the cars have stopped being a product, and have become a medium to turn you into the product. Which is becoming a problem across many industries and the items they wish you to own.
