    Electric vehicles were always supposed to be cheaper than ICEs. They’re just giant batteries. All the sophistication is in the software which is trivial to reproduce.

      And I honestly don’t want most of it. I just want something to get me to work and back. I don’t need a big screen with lots of doodads, I just need to know charge level and whatnot. I don’t even need to find charging stations, I’ll just charge at home.

      Make a stripped down, simple EV for cheap and I’ll probably get it.

        I was referring more to the battery management software.

          Ah, ok. I thought you were talking about the AI features, fancy cameras, etc that cars ship with these days.
