    I sold my 2015 but I kept my 2004. That things fully manual and just keeps going. It’s growing things inside and out from being street parked but there’s no computers, no fobs, no screens.

    I’ll invest thousands keeping that thing going until I can bridge the gap to EV. It still gets 35-45 MPG which is better than what’s out there anyway, even most hybrids

      If only they made an all analog EV. Id get one so fast. No GPS, no screens.

      Its SO EASY to do. They just refuse.

      Guess I can always build my own.

        I’ve been wishing for modular EV parts that can be build it yourself for ages. I’ve been TOLD that the problem is street legality: parts don’t come with a VIN, parts don’t assure required safety systems. It would be amazing, but for street driving we’d need a massive shift in the legal system to accommodate them
