If modern cars weren't all full of spyware, then I might consider upgrading to something newer. But I neither want nor need a car that has interior cameras, microphones, location tracking, remote shutdown and telemetry from a manufacturer that sells behavioral data to insurance companies and advertisers. Like TVs, cars are at their best when they're dumb. So give me a dumb BEV and maybe I'll switch.
