iSeeCars used NHTSA's list of recalls from 2014-2023 to learn which of today's cars are expected to have the most recalls over an expected 30-year lifespan.
I am still waiting for a day of no frills EVs or just more no frills cars in general. Less crap in the way to repair and whatnot. But all I see passing car lots are bigger vehicles that look like they have so much stuff in them.
We need like a Kirkland brand EV. Unless I am an idiot and people don’t want stuff like that.
I love the tech in my car. The adaptive cruise control, heads up display, android auto, auto wipers, auto brights, lane keep assist, and blind spot detection in my Mazda are all used every single time I drive. Understand why people wouldn’t want some of those things but I love it.
I bought my first ev 8 months ago. 13k miles already and no maintenance cost yet. Absolutely love it and find any excuses to drive it.
I drove a gas guzzling 350hp coupe before jumping to a EV. I had my doubts but I’m glad I made the switch. It’ll be awhile until we get a Costco like vehicle (my bet is Toyota or Hyundai will come out with something huge).
My commute is 70 miles a day and it’s a blast. I drive it on weekends just because it’s fun. I don’t have any frills on it, just a screen I look at once in a while.5
The wheels tend to fall off on basic vehicles ? I hope you’re joking.
Btw the BZ4X isn’t priced like a basic vehicle -$42k++ isn’t exactly entry level and the same price range as a Mustang Mach E, low end Tesla Model 3 or VW id3 with much better spec
No, sorry, that reply was intended for somebody else. Lemmy app struggles.
Mach E and Tesla aren’t “no frills”. I thought that was the request. At the moment, with tax credit, you can get a new Model 3 for 33k. Since Chevy killed the Bolt, I’m pretty sure that’s the cheapest EV on the market. But it wasn’t considered “no frills”

What kind of EV?
Tesla model 3 performance. I know it gets shit on a lot for some reason but using it as a daily driver, it’s the best car I ever had.
M3 here, the autopilot features are incredible, highway driving just fades away.
Definitely worth it, can barely drive my suv now.
Toyotas EV is like that. ID4 is fairly basic. Chevy Bolt.
The BZ4X that was recalled because the wheels fall off ? Has that been rereleased yet ?

Apparently it has been rereleased. Still not good.
Basic vehicles tend to be like that, yes.
