We at least have the option of buying an older ICE vehicle that doesn’t include that nonsense. Although yes, that will likely come with higher maintenance and repair costs due to the age.
Either way, the telemetry issue needs to end on vehicles entirely.
Coincidentally, the car in the title picture is one of VW’s first EVs where physical buttons make a return, and it has regular handles. It also comes with a touch screen and tracking, though.
Make it illegal to include touch screens, tracking, no buttons and no handles. Then I’ll consider getting a loan for one 🤷♂️
The gas powered cars have all that now too though. That’s not just an ev thing

Good thing I’m poor and have never bought a new car

So much this. Give me an AC, radio, and a dumb satnav. Have most of it be physical buttons.
You should check out the American manufacturer Slate, they’re building an EV that’s almost exactly what you’re describing.
It’s… a pickup truck? And while it does have some physical controls everything is fully digital? Sorry, not what I had in mind at all.
Okay. I’m sure, eventually, somebody will build something you’re comfortable sitting in and complaining about.
I can only hope. Thank you for the suggestion nevertheless.
