    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.
