Can't they just make dumb EVs for now? I mean we don't have to go all out Starks Enterprises with every EV to attract customers. I still need buttons and things i can feel while driving.

    Not related to EVs at all. Every new, feature rich car, is like this.
    Camera systems for semi-autonomous driving, blind spot warnings, and parking assist. Always on cellular connections for maps, navigation, and roadside assistance. The tech has been in most cars for a decade or more. It's the last 5ish years the manufactures realized they could collect all the data and have another revenue stream.

    Not to mention how much cheaper an EV could be if it had manual windows, less software, less microphones, less screens and just overall focused on being a car before being a smart device, status symbol, or entertainment system.

    The problem is tech is cheap, especially software. Even moreso when the data you gain is so valuable.

    It's like you'll have to go convert like a 2005 ICE car to electric to get a "nice car without tech shit I never asked for".
