    I like cars, I like the idea of EVs, I fucking hate modern cars (post 08 give or take) so imagine my opinions on most EVs. Just give me an electric Mule or a converted old beater I’ll be happy, if it’s basically anything else I better have the capacity to turn it into an EV equivalent of a dune buggy because I do not respect modern car design in the slightest, don’t care if it’s Chinese, Japanese, European, or American they all have shitty interiors an over reliance on electronics and generally have too many “comfort” features designed to compensate for incompetent design or drivers.

      That would be a 2016-2019 Nissan Leaf. No bells. No whistles. No problems.

          Did you think “mule” somehow implied good looks?

          Is this some new mule kink I’ve never heard of? No shame, is just new to me.

            I’m referring to the old Mule flat bed trucks that had less safety and comfort than the driver seat on a covered wagon. I don’t want comfort or safety, I want cheapness and capacity, air conditioning is optional even. If I can’t at minimum rip out the seating and shove in a bench I pulled from an old truck then it’s a failure of design in my eyes.
