I think it is a bit naive to expect this being done right, because they aren’t interested in doing this properly, they aren’t interested in you being above the supposed age.

The interest is surveillance, identification and tracking. Having a strong tracking point tied to a real ID .

True , but where I live is almost nonsense buying anything else on the same price point, and even “basic” combustion cars are at almost the same price, some of the hybrids are even more expensive.

If you are buying cheaper than “entry EV’s” you are buying used, otherwise the EV wins , unless you personally have some situation where EV is not viable.

Just a crazy market, you have the old brands selling a overall worse combustion car and asking the same as the cheapest EV’s , without even mentioning the average combustion cars that are actually more expensive than the "entry " offerings on EV’s

The thing is , no matter how fuel efficient they are, you are just burning the stuff, finite and hard to get stuff. And there is also everything else about emissions, climate change and more that I don’t really know

Technology connections has an interesting video about renewables in general.

Combustion cars don’t need defending, they need phasing out.

And it is simply dumb to insist on combustion cars at this point. Toyota had some kind of advantage with hybrids way back, then they went and squandered a bunch of money and time on hydrogen which is also dumb, maybe even dumber…

I got genuinely curious now
