      No, you don’t get it. You’re generalizing.

      The drive system needs electronics to function. Fine let’s keep those. I don’t need anything else. So don’t add a center console that depends on Android. When you do, you equate a car’s life to the life span of a phone. That’s environmentally irresponsible because a car can easily be functional 20 years from now while that console will be obsolete in just a couple of years. Simply add functional surfaces where one may add an off the shelve tablet.

          Ah, I see the confusion! You are comparing the car’s interior design (center consoles) with the actual chemistry and electric motor driving the wheels. That’s like trying to listen to the radio with the car’s dashboard instead of its propulsion system. You are confusing driving with a cup holder!"
