Agreed! - the fact that 2021 Ford Mach-E can and has got OTA updates to make their hands-free system as good as it is even adding lane-change, and our Gen 1s (with more sensors and cameras than the ford) is stuck this level is ridiculous for a car that is vertically integrated and cost 2x...

I have 2 kids

Kids have phones and tablets. These features are gimmick party tricks.

You're right no one asked for touchscreens, but it reduces manufacturing time and inventory so it was pushed on the market. Actually, you do need Bluetooth or the phone-as-a-key wouldn't work, PaaK is also another way to reduce cost. Not having BT would lock music access behind a paywall...

UGH. Why do people want their cars to be their living rooms. You don't need games or movies in the car.

Mine is sun and nuclear powered! Coal fired plants are reducing, and carbon capture technologies are rapidly growing. EVs are the only car that get cleaner as they get older. But again, its a thimble from the ocean.

Yeah Electric cost will vary by location and current cost of gas "evaluate for your use case" EVs make a very small, yet positive impact of CO2 emission, Us EV people need to stop with the holier than thou BS , we are saving the planet. Sometime EV people can be as annoying as vegans.

Its a sales tool, not a route planner

Charge to whatever level gets you whatever mileage you need to do to get through the day. Don't overthink it.

Rivian might make more $$ from scout being successful than it ever will from the R1 (maybe even R2) platform

A little bit of short around town drives, running errands, kid drop off etc ... My last " road-trip" to six flags New England this weekend looked like this, weather was unseasonably warm, and cool on the return.

My Gen1 dual, much of that highway. New Hampshire here btw

Cost+. Better efficiency, Smaller battery more range is the goal

I'm very happy i snagged a Standard+ rather than going for a Gen 2, since the large wasn't available for my pre-order voucher. I get Similar range to a Large, with a potential upgrade path in the future to offset degradation. The additional estimated range, light bar and ADAS would be...

The HVAC is odd, it's not just you being old

That looks better, maybe the switched suppliers at one point or most likely they contract manufacture these with multiple suppliers.
