Well, by today’s standards, adjusting the mirrors wouldn’t really be a challenge. Electric switches and all.

What Is Your Most Hated Car Design Element?

Whatever. For design purposes, fender mirrors are WAAAYYYYY cooler!!

Gratuitous chrome, especially in the dashboard. Not such a problem now but on older cars it could get blinding.

I stand corrected

That’s where you put your ‘NOx’, ‘Super Bass Stereo Mode’, and ‘Undercarriage Lighting’ switches. They were just looking out for the aftermarket community.

i guess it makes sense in electric cars though as it will likely extend the range to some extent but it has no practical place in an IEC car

California Is Considering A Ban On Combustion-Engine Cars Now Too

Well the idea is being able to go on leave AND having a job to go back to when then leave is done... just like when women go on mat leave.

Gender gaps exist there as well so where are the…

Conversely, I also believe we need to get more men into some fields heavily dominated by women... like nursing and teaching.

Will a Subaru kill you less than a Tesla would?

Crashes are crashes, look at the stats. The Model S has touchscreen controls and partial autonomy, and has lower crash rates than other cars.

If half a million-ish people put a deposit on a Model 3 because they want one, who am I to condemn their choice in cars?

Factory touch screens don’t offer half the features you list. Aftermarket units do because functionality and features actually affect their sales, but OEM units are rife with poor design choices and inflated option pricing.

C-Max gone? Well, who really cares

Gas is relatively cheap, people don’t want small cars, so the big 3 make bank selling trucks and SUVs.
