This is what the market is being told to expect from an EV.

The Dacia Spring is what the market actually seems to want:

It's a car, not an Autobot.

Toyota's EVs share most of the same components as their non-EVs, like door handles and screens. They have become the fourth best selling EVs behind the Teslas and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in recent months.

It isn't what I want and it seems many people on- and off-line agree with me.

How do you know if there isn't a sensible car to compare it with? Nobody wants something that looks like a tesla

I drive an EV. It sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Worst driving experience of all cars I've owned. The lack of buttons and crappy HVAC controls are things I notice daily.

Outside of Tesla owners, I don't know a single EV owner who praises these elements. The EV market does not want this.
