  • Ah yeah I did misread you. My apologies.

    Though I don’t quite agree that EVs are getting more tech than ICE counterpaets. Remember BMW’s scandal around subscription heated seats? That definitely was not an EV-specific or EV-biased thing. That’s only one example, of course.

    Another is Toyota locking remote start behind a subscription - when the remote start was entirely over local radio signals between the car and the keyfob. Definitely not an EV issue.

    Or, multiple automakers being caught spying on drivers and selling the data. Much broader than EVs.

    On another note, EVs are better for noise, pollution, and climate but they still emit brake dust and tire particles, and they weigh more so they cause a bit more wear and tear on roads. More transit and less cars is vitally necessary, and that includes EVs, so I hope I’m not an EV zealot - just been driving the things for eight years and weirded out by bad info about them
