I don't think I'll be buying an EV for at least another 10-15 years. I usually buy used and considering the best is yet to come with EVs and it will likely be in someone's hands for a few years before it's thrown on a lot for something I'd be willing to pay I'm just not seeing one for me in the near future. I'm also not looking forward to a future where buying a used car entails having to sign up for a monthly butt heater subscription.

Problem is it's not just EVs that are adding the subscription and everything software cars. All cars are going in that direction

Well I guess I'm gonna buy a Volvo and try to maintain it for the next 2 million miles.

Don't worry the butt warmer will have failed long ago in your 15 year old EV

Typed while sitting in my 20 year old pickup truck whos manual windows still work but not most of the electronics :P

But does the passenger door swing open on left turns like my father’s pickup? That was exciting the first time that happened.

Lol, not quite that jank yet. Maybe in another few years.
