The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

    Well yes, I don’t have a truck. I have a performance sportscar from the early 2010s instead. They’re all bad past early 2010s tbh.

      I love that new vehicles ae more efficient, but everything else sucks. The car market needs to be shaken up. There’s no real competition anymore. A new company could probably make so much money by using modern technological advances, but including all the manual dials and things we used to get standard, and preferably without the data harvesting.

        Yes, but they’d miss out on the long term revenue, which is what everyone is chasing nowadays. There’s be no investors.

        Tbh as a car enthusiast there’s been a few advances I’ve been interested in, but nothing really game changing in the affordable range.
