People are indeed slowly checking out of buying new cars.




Problem is if we bury our heads and drive old cars, when they give out and it’s time to buy a new car, all the news cars will have so much of this crap in them they will be unusable and you will be stuck with a lemon.

It's also basically impossible to have any EV that isn't an iPad on wheels.

I'm not even opposed to the mod-cons, it's just the irreparability, lock-in, touchscreen-centrism and planned obsolescence they basically all shoehorned into their new platforms.



I wish they had 2-3 standard DIN slots for player/nav instead of that horrible phone/tablet mount.
