But, everyone is chasing Tesla so… I can’t hate a company for innovating, or chasing the innovator. I have no objection to this gamification, I’ll just never use it.

As long as it does not advertise to me, or disturb my driving in any way then I’m neutral.
If you're planning on chasing Tesla, why not something more useful like Sentry mode w/ video recording when driving and parked?

Or how about a front camera to prevent front spoiler scrapes ?

Or valet mode like Cadillac?

Gaming is fairly useless for buyers who don't have children but whatever. Who knows the focus groups that are being tapped for R&D on this car.

The fact of the matter is electric cars take a long time to recharge. ESPECIALLY in the US in non teslas. Most of the chargers are either broken or are super slow.

So when you're sitting at a charger for 1-2 hours waiting for your car to charge enough to make it to your destination. What else are you going to do?
Good thing EV is being forced on a world that has no infrastructure and won't be able to sustain the power draw. Oh, you want to take a road trip? Better plan an extra 2-4 hours to sit on your ass. Want to replace/repair that battery down the road? 1/3 the cost of the new car, please.

Its all politically driven BS from people who have no idea of the cost to mine, manufacture, and dispose. Not the mention the ridiculous inefficiencies of the global network and the required NEW power stations we'll need (solar power and unicorn farts don't work).

Anyway, the sheep keep eating it up.
Instead of complaining about the power draw of electric cars why not look inward at the power draw that oil refineries use to produce gasoline in the first place…. Hint they use massive amounts of energy to create the gasoline you are using….the refineries don't run on unicorn farts do they?

https://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/14/...s-than-evs-do/

Gasoline run cars are just more costly and more polluting than electric cars.

Gasoline run cars will still have a place, driving feel, exhaust sound and smells, and manual transmissions will still have a place….they will just become the new horse….meaning to be used primarily for pleasure as opposed to the optimal form of transportation.

BMW could be sued for inciting more Karens on the road. We don't need more.
