I’m just happier and happier with my ‘dumb’ car.

It has physical buttons for the aircon.

No wifi = no speakers listening to me and selling my personal data (yep that’s a thing)

I have to press a button on the key fob to open it so it can’t be stolen by relaying the signal.

It’s pretty cheap to run because I hardly drive anywhere anyway.

But when I do I just buy this stuff called ‘petrol’ that’s all around the place and takes like 30 seconds.

I also still get to feel smug because the environmental cost of producing a new electric car is WAY greater than the petrol I’m burning.
