> Modern cars are terrible
Huh! My experience is the opposite. Modern cars are engineering marvels.
> the UX is horrid
My car's UX is absolutely delightful. I have well defined controls (steering wheel, brake pedal, clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, gear shift, light buttons) that are close to 100% reliable and easy to operate. The car works every time just as I expect it to. No surprises, no bs.
> the software never gets updated
Why would I ever want to update my car's software?? It works perfectly. It is almost 13 years old and I don't recall ever encountering a software bug. I'm sure I will continue to use this car as long as my local RTO continues to renew the license.
> look and feel of a good middle class car is just trash.
Now this is subjective, so I'll let you have this one.
I'm sure your Tesla is way better to drive than my $10k car, but that's not to say modern cars are "terrible". They are absolutely amazing.
