Lets hope the dumb cars catch on. I saw plans for a dumb truck where everything on the dash is back to analog. Not a screen in sight. Best part is that it should be below 30k. But this was like 2 years ago
Ohhh, if this is true christmas came early this year!
I fucking loath all this touch screen shit in a car!
Buttons weren't broke! You didn't have to look at the dashboard at all, you could just feel your way and keep your eyes on the road 🤦♀️
I recently rented a car where you couldn't get a map, navigation, or half the radio stations because you needed a subscription. Even older touch screen cars still let you have a fucking map.
Screens are fine for all the auxiliary shit. If I want to set my charging rate, I don't want to do it with a charging rate knob or whatever and hope that It's not going to blow my house wiring. Just don't put a single function on there that I have to use while I'm driving.
Just buy a dumb car. You can find plenty of great used cars that will run forever with proper maintenance, which will be cheaper than a lease or car payments for something newer.
The only real downside in my opinion is that newer vehicles have amazing safety features.

They’re going the John Deere route.
They want all repairs done their way and no third party involvement.
It’s gross.
