    I’m gonna be honest. I don’t care how environmentally friendly new EVs will be. I don’t care what climate goals will be met if I switch. If the choice is between some EV with a giant iPad in the middle with no buttons, 24/7 cameras connected to a random corporate server, the ability to drive itself away at the company’s discretion, and liable to be towed without violating anything; and a gas burning 2009 Toyota that still has a CD player, I’m going to buy the Toyota.

      Good news, then: ZYBERTRUKKKs are a massive waste of resources, even the source of their electricity is dubious and out-of-sight-out-of-mind externality at best, and a used car is probably going to be less polluting then a new oversized dumpster on wheels rolling around anyway.
