I am NOT a "consumer". Those just buy buy buy, the same way locusts devour everything.
I am a "customer". I think about purchases, research if its sufficient, and will actively walk away if the deal is garbage.
At this time, all electric cars seem to be a DRM ridden hellscape, and/or a surveillance platform on wheels, and/or 100% remote control by mothership, and/or subscription hellscape (heated seats, better battery).
I'll take my ICE mostly mechanical cars thankyouverymuch, as they are more repairable.
