    I, for one, do want to go back to wind down windows, manual transmission, and dials on my stove top. A lot of modern technology is flashy but shit in practice. Touch screens in cars for example.

    Tech / innovation for its own sake has been an issue for as long as I can remember (back to the 80s) and I wouldn’t be surprised if it dates back to the first stone tools.

      It’s ridiculously biased and 100% ragebait for all involved. The problem today is shit like this article, not Teslas.
