I would pay a premium for NOT having all the extra electronics --a computer that controls the computer of the computer, a large TV on the dash, a car that only the dealership can fix because they are the only ones who have the equipment to read the codes, everything by wire...I prefer a car that lets me stranded in the road for something I can usually figure out and repair myself, instead of a car that just stops running and has to be towed directly to the dealership for service.

I agree, but also hold an extreme view on the other end. If you’re going to put tech in a car, I want that crap to be Tesla-levels of tech. Not this half-assed 6” “infotainment” crap.

Find a way to slap a straight up automotive grade 23” 144hz touchscreen in there. Or at least do what Tesla did and say screw it and use one that isn’t. Really push the envelope or don’t bother at all.

I expect more from BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen but they produce absolute garbage. Audi owner here.
