I would never buy an electric car or get into a computer driven vehicle. At my age I do not trust computers. They do not last very long and are unpredictable. These vehicles are all fine tuned as they come out of the factory but in six months they are falling apart. The less computers the better. I had a 1956 Buick that was the most reliable vehicle I ever had and it did not have any computers only the radio had electronics. I also had a 1957 Pontiac that was very reliable. I remember when I was young I used to make fun of all the new cars that were sitting on the side of the road while the old clunkers were still going and were easy to maintain.
The integrated circuit wasn’t invented until 1958 (Jack Kilby/Robert Noyce co-patented).
I’m with you.. I’ve got a 75 Vette that’s still running better than the wife’s 2024 Volvo which is a technology fueled POS. Not electric but controlled by a Google infotainment system and a nightmare of computers that work occasionally. It’s a POS, requires constant software updates and you can’t drive it for 90 minutes when it’s updating.
I told the dealer I could rewrire my entire Vette with three 20 foot extension cords and the only technology it has is a Bluetooth retro styled radio I put in.
This one is about 11 years old and still runs fine. The only problem is that Big Tech is conspiring to force upgrades by ensuring that new programs won't run. But the old stuff still works.
I watched a Scotty Kilmer video on cars that will brack on their own. It sees a shadow and brakes, you get rear ended, maybe killed or crippled.
These Vehicles Have Killed Thousands (Do Not Buy)
