    At least partly because people can’t or won’t pay new vehicle prices. Also most any vehicle will last for 200,000 miles now, which can easily be over 10 years.

      Once they have an electric car with proper aftermarket parts support, user repairability, isn’t an always on surveillance machine, and that I actually own and aren’t just leasing at the whims of a corporation that can shut the car off at any time, I might, might consider a commercially produced electric vehicle.

      Until then, I will be driving pre-2010 ICE vehicles that I can repair and have zero transmitting computers in them.

    This is just modern, right? I’d imagine there are years like 1965 and 1986 or so that have this beat. They sold over 1 million Chevy Impalas alone in 1965.

    *Ah, okay, my bad, I didn’t mean to upset anyone lmao
