Screens, rear light bars, aggressive styling, etc. A plumber in Kansas doesn’t want an EV, in fact most of middle America doesn’t, yet that’s what every single automaker, with very few exception, is moving towards. Did the customer ask for that? Sure, maybe 5% did. Makes you wonder…
Car buyers asked for all the nannies & such in cars today. Obviously, not us enthusiasts, but the majority of the buying public wanted all these & the nonsense electronics that are making people lazier & lazier.

From what I've seen, most people walk onto a car lot knowing zero or damn close to it.
