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.

  • Thanks for this video!

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!

#Shifters are a solved problem.

  • If your design needs a 4 minute instructional video then your #design is garbage!

Putting #features behind a #subscription should be illegal!

  • At least for features that don't require constant upkeep (obviously *"#cloud" storage, VPSes, etc. need power, bandwith, replacement parts, maintenance,)…

Also #ModernCars are a #privacy #nightmare to the point that I'm not only never gonna #drive i.e. a #Swasticar but not even enter one!

And that amount of #DataCollection should be illegal to begin with!

  • Seriously, #KIA and #Nissan have made shure I'll never enter one of their cars as a matter of principle ever again!

Just because the #Swasticar-Owner aka. #ApartheidEmeraldBoy got his secret collectors piece leaked doesn't mean this surveillance shit should be allowed to begin with!

Seriously, I wounder if any #NISSAN owner ever "educated" their passengers about this shit, notwidthstanding that Under-16 year olds can't consent to this shite as a matter of principle, much less to HAVING THEIR SEX LIFE ANALYZED AND SOLD TO THIRD PARTIES!

I wounder if their agreement is that batshit crazy in the #EU too, but if so I hope @noybeu gives them a legalese spanking!

The #TechBro-driven #Enshittification of #cars is a danger to #PublicSafety and #RoadSafety and shit like this is why I'll refuse to own anything made after 2015!

@kkarhan I will never forget the C5 I rented a decade back or so. Climate control via touch only. You had to navigate through multiple screens, each button elsewhere.

I wonder whether they hoped to increase sales on accident replacements. A fucking UX nightmare and a true security hazard.

@Saupreiss Pretty shure they make a killing with repacement touchscreens because angry users will smash it it!
