The Amish/Mennonites have an interesting take... Some of them are 'allowed' to drive cars, as long as they're black base models and are "modest" and largely utilitarian. There are also rules about which types of equipment they can have, so no tractors but they can have skid steer loaders for "construction" which they hitch regular farm implements to. No electricity allowed in the house, but no real restrictions about power in the "shop" or battery powered devices.

It's a strange combination between modesty and strategically bending rules. I kind of adore that.
