I don’t know how extended this is, but apparently there are car makers selling cars with no keys. Instead you download a proprietary app and use it to access your car.
I like being practical and talking to a car to turn the volume up or down, to open the door or to turn the temperature higher are things I don’t need nor want. Give me mechanical levers, reachable stalks and no proprietary bloatware. I don’t need a movie theater on wheels.
Imagine an early 2000s car running on an electric motor. That’s what I want.
Yeah, actually a low mode would be useful for exactly this, in exactly the same use cases as for ICE cars. Whatever my regen is configured as, if I’m heading down a steep icy hill, maybe I could use an easy way to maximize regen. Heck maybe my battery is not warmed up yet so I don’t have effective regen, but I could really use it for that hill even if that battery can’t use it
