Is ad hominem your plan here or do you not understand why it’s bad to increase fossil fuel use when we need to be reducing it ASAP? I don’t drive that much, and I try to drive efficiently when I do. I also advocate for moving away from car centricity because of how wasteful it is. Do you?

This is literally a supplier wanting to foster demand for their product regardless of the external impact (in this case, additional environmental pollution all for the sake of profit). This is not something to be celebrated.

No this is bad, because it’s directly intended to increase consumption of gasoline, which is the opposite of what we should be doing.

Remember that Consumer Reports weights infotainment and electronic issues the same as engine or transmission problems.

They literally do not do this.

From their site:

Engine major, engine cooling, transmission major, drive system, electric motor and EV battery problems are more likely to take a car out of service and to be more expensive to repair than the other problem areas. Consequently, we weight these areas more heavily in our calculations of model year overall reliability verdict. Problems such as broken trim and in-car electronics have a much smaller weight. Problems in any area can be an expense and a bother, though, so we report them all in the reliability history charts.

I love watching this shit crumble at the seams lmao

EVs are the future of cars and if you think the continued sales increases year over year aren’t a clear sign of that, just look at China’s auto-market.

It’s about Tesla, an EV maker
