Is Creed the only one who didn't get to upper management who would turn their whole career into tax fraud?

You do you! It does look nicer when it's made though, and it makes the room feel cleaner. (IMO)

Crazy how vancded offers what premium used to be, makes no sense to buy a subscription if the paid version is a worse experience

I'd really love to see a US domestic drone product for consumers. Its kind of sad that there aren't any options when it comes to premade drones.

I'd read that!

This is incredible! This missed my radar. Here I thought NCAs were just going to stay. I can only see good things come from this.

[-] GeneralDingus@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 months ago

Really would like to know as well!

Just to clarify, I didn't mean that electric engines weren't reliable. It was more of a combination of things I'd like to see in an EV. And I'm all down for all those other features too! I just would like a barebones option for us poors, you know? You can have different tiered options, and maybe getting rid of all the extra features can make for a reliable cheaper car. And in a barebones model, why would you need constant OS updates? Just have the engine tuned like other things in a car like electric fuel injection. Everything else should be like clockwork.

This seems like its exactly on point to what I was hoping for. I really hope this is something that takes off in the EV industry!

[-] GeneralDingus@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 months ago

But does it really subsidize the cost at all? Seems like its more of an additional revenue stream than anything else. So many EVs with tracking are still expensive, so how are they meaningfully making the cars more affordable?

[-] GeneralDingus@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 months ago

Exactly! Keep it simple!

Very true. I haven't been looking at the ICE market mostly because I drive an old car and probably will until it breaks. But that's also very frustrating.

Simple EV cars (lemmy.cafe)
submitted 2 months ago by GeneralDingus@lemmy.cafe to c/evs@lemmy.world

Does anyone think that there'll ever be a simple EV car produced for market without all the extra junk found in most electric cars? Why or why not?

I don't see the need for the infotainment dash, personal data tracking, self-driving, lack of physical buttons, and lack or reparability.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an EV that is probably cheaper without all that forced extra stuff? Can't we just have a simple EV that has an electric engine that is reliable, cheaper, and doesn't have a need for constant software updates? Maybe you can work on it in your garage for the most part for simple maintenance.

I'd really like to have an EV one day but seems like they are all super expensive, have no sense of ownership like typical cars, are constantly tracking you, and are trying to shove extra features down your throat.
