We're most of the way there with ICE vehicles anyway. New models have so many sensors and electronics, and parts are in such a short supply, you're mostly beholden to the dealers. Especially for any major components like the engine and transmissions.

We need to do a better job as a society into shaming people for making terrible purchase decisions.

? The only victim of a bad purchase decision is the purchaser? Shouldn't we be shaming those who steer people into terrible purchase decisions, or make terrible products in the first place?

Unfortunately, there's enough people making poor purchasing decisions that it affects all of us. Want a car with physical knobs to control the climate and radio? Too bad, idiots like the new-shiny.
