The #Enshittification of #cars is due to #TechBros being allowed to make #engineering decisions.

Shitty #Touchscreen garbage instead of actually good #buttons and useless door handles are due to #Muskification of #cars aka. noone actually tests the shit outside of the #BayArea and thus things like "Opening the door at freezing temperatures!" is just not even throught about.

Seriously, the most complex thing I've had to adjust for is the fact that a 2011 CVPI and all Ford Panther Platform Cars have a classic shifting lever at the steering collumn and that @fuchsiii 's #Datsum1200 has a manual choke that needs to be pulled full on cold start.

  • So the entire #Enshittification seems pointless, because the 0,02 CdA efficiency gains of removing a door handle is being eaten up by the mirrors anyway...

Seriously, WTF are #engineers smoking these days?

I DON'T WANT AN "EMOTIONAL CONNECTION" WITH A CAR, BUT THIS ONE CERTAINLY GETS ME ANGRY!

@kkarhan I'm not even particularly keen on the electronic handbrake brake my latest VW has, having already once accidentally pulled it whilst driving on the motorway and trying to get a vape from the cupholder - I just got a gong warning rather than a hard stop as Cariad have at least realised /someone/ is going to do that, but it wouldn't have happened with a normal handbrake lever - also when you change the rear pads you need to connect to OBD2 using VCDS or similar to put the brakes into service mode, and I never use the cupholders for drinks as anything that might spill in the centre console is likely to knacker the switch that operates the brake..
@vfrmedia yeah, and that's just scratching the surface of the shitshow...
