January 3, 2022 at 10:32 pm I would highly value an electric car that has equivalent functionality to a base model compact car made in the 1990’s. Extras should be aftermarket. I wonder what price Tesla could sell that type of car for? I’m no Luddite, but do cars really need all the stuff they have today? Sure it’s convenient but so much can go wrong. I didn’t mind hand crank windows and manual door locks you needed a key to open. Even manual tuning of the radio with the little red plastic idicator worked fine. The more complicated things are, the more things that can go wrong. Electric door locks must still be able to be operated manually. Simple is better, less to go haywire. We had our car in for service and the rental car dinged, beeped, and made all sorts of noises we never did figure out. We were never so happy to get our simple car back. You have everyting vying for your attention these days. If you get into your car, you’re going to drive it. Kind of like my phone. The thing has a built in video editor app. To me, a phone is for making phone calls. I do not see the day where I will use a video editing app on my phone. Too much felgercarb. (Figure out that reference.) KISS works best. Keep it simple stupid.
