I agree with that. It’s the imperfection of the engine and transmission - and the proper feedback from mechanical steering and brakes that gives the Ice cars personality and I miss that. EVs are appliances. I think they’ll be like horses. Hobbyist specialties.
I don’t love my EV like some of my previous cars but i haven’t had or made time to properly work on my cars so I do appreciate not needing to do work on the EV - so far.
There’s something to this. EVs might be a little too easy. At least at first.
I hope once we start wrecking them up and getting access to low cost parts and such, people will start getting inventive.
Right now, they’re too good and too expensive. Suppliers, supply chains, therefore competition is all on the other side of the planet.
We’ve already seen some stripped down and supped up Tesla’s, and I saw someone who bolted a motor to an old Toyota by just cramming it to the transmission with half a clutch welded on.

Too good? Tesla makes the worst cars you can buy right now.
Tesla makes an excellent powertrain and ships it in a shitbox.
