@petergleick 1/2 Perhaps in the middle of all of this we can not lose sight of the fact that, modern electric cars are, from a data privacy perspective an absolute disaster and incredibly invasive.
I do not want to give up my anonymous petrol-engined car that cannot leak any data and cannot be hacked remotely until I can buy an electric car that has these features.
Get rid of the iPads in the middle of dashboards. And the surveillance cameras festooned all over the cars.
@IcyBee @petergleick Yes correct, but I live in a country where 16 petrol cars were sold last month. After a total of 487 petrol vehicles sold in the whole of 2025.
So when I have money for one of todays new cars, in about 15 years time when depreciation has given me a helping hand it is unlikely that there will be any secondhand petrol cars for sale.
