This is why evs and newer cars will never work for me.

IMO: bring back AMC and make an actual analog electric car with none of the bullshit.

I don't understand why i can't go out right now and buy a brand new 1992 civic hatch (one of the best consumer cars made).

Fuck government laws.

I guess I'll be turning to independent retrofit shops after my cars get too old to be reliable. I would bet more and more of those will pop up, like they did for semi truck engine retrofits.

Buy new semi, rip out that drive train, buy a crate drive train with no bullshit, slap it in. Then you have a brand new semi with all the shit removed.

Especially after the 2027 laws.

I feel ya. Our vehicle feels like it was a bit before this became so common. It was kinda funny because it was like they were desperately trying to sink sales on the model as they took out basic things like the compass. It was unsuccessful and they finally discontinued the model despite decent sales. Their replacement gets worse sales than the down years of the old model. More expensive and lots of electronic bs.
