I mean sort of. What is "base" has also changed.
Try finding an EV that doesn't have automatic windows but has old school manual rollup/rolldown windows. You can't, even though its more environmentally friendly.
I’m sorry but roll windows are awful and I’ve personally seen people nearly get in accidents because they’re focused on rolling the window instead of the road.
I am willing to bet A LOT that the energy consumption of the small window servo is trivial on the ev’s battery and is a worthwhile expenditure so that the already incompetent drivers aren’t engaging in a physical task while driving down the highway.
I mean, that has a lot more to do with trying to multitask on the freeway than it does the windows. I've seen people fiddling with their phones or the touchscreens in their car just as badly.
That's an issue of an unwillingness to plan ahead and focus on driving, not the windows themselves.
I'm definitely not a fan of treating everyone like a baby who needs coddling because some people can't be fucked to do better. Aww poor babies need power windows so they can drive without distraction!
Telling me I can't have manual roll windows because some people are fucking idiots is a joke.
When someone slams their car into mine on the freeway because they were dicking around with their phone, I'll make sure to blame the phone for existing.
You’re diverting the argument. A power window can not be more environmentally friendly in any meaningful way
I think maybe you responded to the wrong person, because that was kind of my point.
