It is wild how cool Chinese EVs are https://x.com/buckadeath/status/1902915764107055373?s=46

Firmly believe that cars peaked in the early 2000's

Now, you're just buying a surveillance device with a bunch of unnecessary gadgets built in ("wow everything's computer")

And longevity is likely to be worse -- I doubt any of these bargain bin EVs will last 20-30 years

I genuinely enjoy my tesla, it’s fun 

longevity argument may be true, but it is also true that I haven’t taken my tesla for servicing in 6 years now 

surveillance doesn’t bother me, gadgets are super useful 

may be I am just a different audience, but not really sure what an early 2000’s car will give me

Different strokes! I love the lack of frills in my transportation

The job is to be a set of wheels, not a complex fragile mess of a computer
