A new report estimates that the company led by Elon Musk accounted for just under half of all battery-powered vehicles sold in the second quarter of the year.

What's everyone's suggestion?

I want the dumbest smart car available. Like a Honda Civic but just electric. No smart features.

Closest in the united States is a chevy bolt, but that's still pretty far.

I'd love a fairly dumb ev. Give me just enough computer for battery/charging management and let me do the rest.

It's a shame that's not the default because while do find EVs interesting there's no way I'm buying a car that may stop working after a failed software update. Did early EV manufacturers feel the need to put as many bleeding edge features as possible in their vehicles to make them more alluring? Cause I can't imagine another reason to turn a car into a driveable smartphone.

While that may be your sentiment, it seems that for many people, especially in countries like China, having more smart features is a positive selling point.
