I got a Kia EV6, the only negative is they used an older infotainment system so i don't get wireless android auto. When the new ones come out for the same car I went to see if I can get it changed out.

I mean, I feel like the banks that failed still should have done some research on what they were putting their money into. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banks_acquired_or_bankrupted_during_the_Great_Recession

I mean, the 2008 housing market was done by greedy and stupid bankers.

Ahh I gotcha. Yeah, I like my EV but with the reports coming out that they are selling data to insurance providers I would love to disconnect my connection to the Internet but I believe it has a esim from Verizon.

Maybe it's both of our bias but I stopped seeing new cars without an integrated head unit in 2010, the Tesla model s came out in 2012. Yes the base models didn't have the informant system but I will die on the hill that it's not the EV that brought it to the masses. Longer loan options so people could get a higher end car and pay on it for 7years. Along with people wanting gps in their cars, play music, and hands free laws, it was easier to just get a car that you could tap a button to answer your phone.

The first telas batteries were 18650s, the same ones that the diy vapes used. As more EVs are bought the more of a market there will be to support them. People are already refurbishing EV battery packs.

There was that one guy on YouTube and he rebuilt a military humvee with telsa motors.

I only use android auto in my ev6, I have had multiple pixel phones. Google map, a better route planner, teams, YouTube music. No issues, well one issue but it was not android auto, the cable connection in the car was loss so I put some conductive grease on it and reconnected it. Had no dropout's since.

That's why I bought an electric car from a car company. Mostly the same parts besides the drivetrain.

That's just when you noticed. High end models of cars had that since OnStar.

Evs will outlast ice cars as there are less moving parts. All we need now is 3rd party car battery replacement as a standard.
