    EVs have gotten much better. Problem is that new cars as a whole have gotten much worse.

      I love my Tesla. It is my favorite car to drive. The problem for most people is the car costs 60K and the insurance is around 400 a month. It was hard going back to an ICE car but I am waiting for the cybertruck.

        Battery life and recharge times mainly.

        But the fucking screens and driver assists, it’s like you’re driving a computer and appliance, not a car.

        What’s strange is I thought I had that in my original comment. This stuff keeps coming up. A dropped word here or there, sometimes an entire sentence is gone. I guess I need to be more careful.

          That’s the main difference between a Tesla and other EV cars. It feels like you’re driving something different. It’s a different experience.

          Yeah all the new tech in vehicles is neat, but it’s also just more points of failure/something to repair. I wholeheartedly agree with all your points.
