never really gave a shit about EVs. overpriced battery pack slapped onto some plastic scrap metal that barely holds together. you look at cars from the 60s, even the 70s – boom. wild designs, real engineering, suspensions that were overengineered in the best way. now? primitive setups dressed up with a ton of sensors and electric crap that dies in 2 years. they’re not made to last – they’re programmed to fail.

and for what? so we can mine cobalt with child labor halfway across the world and pretend it’s green? eco bullshit.

give me an Lexus, Volvo, maybe Mercedes from 90s/2000s that still runs like a dream after 400k. modern cars got no soul.
