I'd be happy if they'd just make a drop-in replacement EV for my existing ICE options. I don't need it to be a robot. I just want it to not use gasoline. Unfortunately, manufactures seem to think it has to be all or nothing.
You can't have you basic car that is in-expensive and just a car without buying it from a boring, in-expensive automobile maker. They are the ones who make that kind of vehicle. They are one and the same.
What's the 'basic car' that uses gas that you want in electronic form but still a basic car?
I wasn't trying to criticize your choices. I was trying to figure out what brand makes the gas powered car you have that you would like to see translated into an electric form. I am guessing you have some other things that you like in a car, can you share your ideal car then?
