I’ve got a family member who has a “nice” electric car, upwards of like £70,000.

They swear by it, say it’s the best car they’ve ever driven, so easy, comfortable, etc.

In-person I’ve only ever heard them complain about it, it’s meant to unlock as you approach, that never works, using a charging point takes about 30 minutes to get it to work, they turn off about 5 different sensors and alerts before setting off because they default to on.

Oh, and, “the roads are too narrow”, or “these spaces are so small”. No, you drive a 6ft wide car.

The copium is strong with this one.

There was a post in the Chevy bolt subreddit recently that asked why anyone would buy the bolt over some other fancier evs, then proceeded to list features* like that. And all the responses were like yeah that's why we didn't get those other cars. The bolt is cheap* small and has decent range, everything else those other cars have like bigger screens are annoyances in a commuter

I love my Bolt! It has just the right amount of "smart" features, and few enough of them that they stay out of the way.

The 5 different sensors thing is too common in a lot of modern cars. In my current car I turn off lane assist every time because it's annoying, in my previous car I had to turn off the environmental feature that would stop the engine every time I stopped for an intersection. One time I didn't turn it off, slowed down before the intersection and it turned off in the middle of it.
