    I don’t want a new car full stop. Too much tech. Too many new integrated features to break. Too much spying. Not enough maintenance that can be done by the owner. If you gave me a car with less tech and a battery I’d probably be fine with it. But I have to listen to all the BS from people who work on electric cars several times a week, and I gotta tell ya, I’m not convinced to buy any new car. Not just EV’s or hybrids.

          I’ve seen some shops in LA that claim to take certain car models and turn them into evs. It’s a long shot but I’m taking a look when my car dies or we need another car.

          My civic will probably last another decade given how cheap the parts are and reliable the car is.

            Yeah I’ve visited the local one but they are exorbitantly expensive. Like 6 figures. There’s a lot of custom fabrication involved. And at the end of it you still have a car that lacks modern safety features.

      Too much tech that’s so deeply integrated, little fender benders total the car. It sucks.
