Give me a solid car with an electric motor, but all old-school buttons and knobs in the cabin instead of a touchscreen that will be out of date in 5 years and cost 10k to replace if the kids get their grimy hands on it.

You know there are absolutely zero controls on privacy for Tesla telemetry data. It’s wild to me that a car that is really quite a bit simpler than an ICE car is required to be perpetually online. That said, I saw there’s a company trying to offer electric retrofits for ICE vehicles, primarily classic cars, but that’s likely to be closest to what you want.

You got a link or company name? That sounds very interesting for classic cars.

Zero Labs. They’ve got a few models for sale but are really looking to raise capital.

Looks like they're only doing it to huge cars like Land Rovers and Ford Broncos, which is unfortunate.
