I’ve driven many cars without ps and when going fast enough that a quick reaction is necessary, it can be handled fast enough. Not a major safety issue more than looking at GPS is a safety issue. I ride over 100km a week on my MTB so thanks for the suggestion.

Cranking! That allows no electrical wires needed to cross into the door. Simpler and less prone to failing.

I can start by saying that I’m a tech “guy”. The evolution was simple: Puzzles, Lego, bikes, model R/C cars/planes, computers, motorcycles then cars. Add to that motorcycles and cars give you freedom of movement to go anywhere anytime in a whim, it is difficult to not geek about them.

Then, during a brief period of my life I lived in a big (for me) city and had to use the public transport and it was horrible. This only exacerbated my dreams of owning a motor vehicle. Car magazines helped fuel these dreams.

My dad loved sports cars, that didn’t help the addiction ;)

This is something I’m looking for also… but extended to the max. It seems all EVs have to be feature packed. I don’t want that. Give me an option to have manual windows, no central locking nor remote, and if the tire size is right, I won’t even need power steering. A/C AND USB-A would be the only creature conforts wanted… Probably an EV converted beetle?
