One of the reasons electric cars were able to outcompete ICE-specialized companies is because they undercut on all sorts of nice to haves like buttons and pieces that they forgo by using a screen, wifi, updates, beta testing.

But they don't pass on those cost savings to you. They are even sold as luxury products. They even take the carbon credits. That's bullshit if you are serious about mainstream adoption.

ICEs are doing all of that shit now too. The truth is ICEs are fucking overpriced and manufacturers didn't want to lose money.
