I was going to opt for a new EV. But ultimately decided against it. Cited “range anxiety,” poor build quality (specifically Tesla), too many unknowns, locked down cars, changes or advanced in battery tech (solid state batteries?).
Glad I ultimately kept my 30/38 mpg (city/highway) car. Honestly if this car becomes not financially feasible to repair (no repairs yet, only maintenance). I might stick with ICE, specifically a manual and as low tech as possible.
Only need a decent audio system, safety systems (backup camera), and connectivity via android auto/Apple Car Play (if not supported from manufacturer then rip out existing unit and replace with third party unit).
No “in car wifi”. No “self driving.” No tracking. A car should not be complicated or locked in by subscriptions.
