I have yet to own a vehicle made in the 21st century.
I’m terrified of having to get a vehicle that requires software updates that eventually will stop receiving support. I’m also terrified of getting a vehicle with just generally shitty software. My gf’s car has awful software and there’s nothing she can do about it.
Just give me 90s era cars again. They last forever and they’re easy to repair on your own.

I wonder how much cheaper a car without any crap in it could be today if they still manufactured them at scale

I know I may get flamed for this since it has funding from Bezos but take a look at the Slate Truck (www.slate.auto). Not cellular modem so no tracking (other than app based things. They say like charging and whatnot but you never know). No carplay or android auto, not entertainment dash at all. Hell the windows are old school cranks for rolling up and down.

This, but as a compact and without Bezos.
