Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout
Locrin@lemmy.world 10 months agoI have dark mode and auto dimming on my huge center console monitor. It’s a non issue. The only thing it really shows is my car on a map and what is playing on Spotify. I never look at it or am distracted by it when driving.
I do feel like there is room for a nice super simple EV with minimal/no screens and only the features required by law. It would need quite a few buttons for windows, heated seats, heated steering wheel, defrost, climate control etc but it would be quite a calm experience I think not having a huge monitor there.

Maybe to you, personally I’d rather have knobs and buttons on my console. Way less detracting and easier to operate without taking my eyes off the road. If I need a map, I have a GPS in my pocket where I can easily adjust the brightness or turn off the screen and follow the spoken directions. I have a 2016 Veloster and that has the biggest screen that should be in a car, also isn’t there to operate the cats functions. Also have a 2021 Tuscon and the infotainment system is a fucking abomination and is just horrible to operate and drive at night with

Well, I don’t think they are making cars like that anymore sadly. Would be cool with an EV that aged well because of no screens.
I looked up the interior for the Tuscon and yeah it’s clear that they don’t really know how to handle implementing a large monitor in a car. It has bad design, bad placement and bad software. Try test driving a Tesla sometime. You might like it. I come from a Kia Sportage 2012 Diesel so I had quite the adjustment to make but I am happier for it.

Based on the fact that Tesla receives top rating in all collision tests in all countries ( as far as I know ) www.euroncap.com/en/results/tesla/model+y/46618 www.euroncap.com/en/results/tesla/model-3/37573
I believe your risk assessment ability may be lacking. Tough the Wish ebike might be safer as it likely will not run.
