The Civic's split dash was apparently generally hated, but I really liked it, for just that reason... The year after mine they switched it back to a single cluster, which I think is unfortunate

There is a website that you can opt out of having certain data tracked.

But I imagine insurance companies will use it as an excuse to raise your rates if you opt out

And on top of that, at any moment, they (Tesla) can remove pretty much any feature they feel like in a push update, which they have done... Personally, I think removing existing features from already sold products should be illegal, flat out

Yeah I thought since I'm old I'd be like gimme the old way, but I would actually prefer simplicity for regular commutes.

But I feel like not even car companies want me to have simplicity so they can monetize more doodads

Mine's a fully digital one but they have animations on the sides that give that sort of feedback... Without it, though, yeah, I think it would make me feel more disconnected from driving, which isn't exactly a good thing

I so very much preferred speedometers like that which had every 10 marked rather than every 20 like so many seem to do

Well tough luck, you're getting one with roman numerals!

No, the top one sparks gasoline. And the bottom one sparks ... I don't know how electric cars work.

I will never put a light mode display in my car. I will take an analogue dial over something that burns spots into my retinas when I'm trying to drive. Even with dark mode, the amount of ambient light coming off that thing is gonna bother me at night.

We need to downgrade everybody's headlights while we're talking about personal preference too. If the car behind me has lights that are so bright they cast a shadow over my own headlights, they're too bright.

Depends on the screen. I like the dull matte screen on those citroën picassos.

Watch out for flying USB drives though.

For sure just hit :wq.

Thanks for the suggestion, it looks promising. MX5 has only 2 seats, but maybe one of the larger models is good too.

There is also the issue of companies pinky-promising that they wont track you but still call home.

And I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

It's not a bad car for what it is, but I find it slow, uncomfortable, and annoying to drive. I don't need a screeching alarm going off after it misinterprets a situation. The entertainment system has several bugs in it.

It handles well, and it does get good fuel mileage.

I wouldn't have bought it in the first place, but my wife wanted something smaller than our Accord, and she basically only drives that vehicle.

Build it yourself?

Why do you think it doesn't track you? It has voice recognition in the infotainment, so it has microphones. I guess it probably won't have mobile data connection since they require you to connect your phone or take it to a dealer for infotainment updates. So might be safe as long as you don't allow it to use your phone data when its connected via Bluetooth or do over the air updates or take it to a dealer for repairs/updates.

I'm not sure if car manufactures do it yet but samsung is known to require data dumps before providing spare parts for phones to 3rd party repair shops, so maybe car manufactures could do that as well?

My Audi typically displays the outdoors temp on the digital dash, which is convenient. Except when there is any warning light on, which takes its place. Want to take a quick glance at the temp? Well right now it's "low on windshield wiper fluid" degrees outside.

Also why the fuck does this shitty dash scream at me about warnings when I get in the car but not out. By the time I get home I will have completely forgotten about the windshield wiper. How is "also display reminders after shutting the engine off" not the obvious implementation?
