Same. This is why I am rooting for Slate (https://www.slate.auto/) to succeed. I hope everyone in this ridiculous software war loses and in the end they realize that there is a huge market for just basic no-frills car.

While I definitely hope Slate is a huge success and I really love its premise, it's a shame that, judging from their homepage images, the dashboard is an LCD screen, no dials.
Their vehicles remind me of the Datsun trucks I saw as a kid in the 80's. I believe back then their value proposition was that they were cheap too.
