I’ll buy something other than a ‘gas guzzler’ the second I’m not required to trade away my privacy to go electric, and can disable every single last beep, ding, screech and other unnecessary sound some stupid fuck thought was a good idea.
I’m a fan of big screens myself. What I’m not a fan of is putting everything into that screen. I want the screen for the infotainment system only. All hvac and essential controls should still be physical buttons and dials. And of course, ditch all the tracking and data collection that comes with the car.
You’re doing a lot more to save the planet by driving an old car and fixing it than buying a new one that gets 5 mpg more. People are dumb about this. Reuse is the most important thing. Buying a new prius is FAR worse than keeping on driving a 99 grand prix.
Unfortunately my government is also stupid about this and they’re going to raise my registration costs every year to get me to replace the car I drive under 5,000km annually with an electric car.
It would take driving my little car another 60 years at this rate to produce as much pollution as building a new electric car that won’t last 10.

Oh how I long for the day someone invents a car without a touchscreen.
