Topic starter

This is a highly hypothetical question. 

Which one if these cars would you rather have:

A) An EV with analog and mechanical connections. 

B) An ICE Vehicle with Electronic Everything. 

For the hypothetical EV, imagine an early 90’s Corolla/Civic, but the engine and transmission is basically an electronic motor, and the EV battery is like the Tesla skate board. Everything is mostly analog and mechanical with very little electronics. Nothing drivetrain related is drive by wire, except as necessary to actuate the motor. Steering is mechanical, braking is mechanical. There is no touch screen. It doesn’t look like the interior of an EV, 

For the hypothetical ICEV, imagine a Tesla Model 3 or a Polestar with its minimalist interface.  Everything is drive by wire, the steering, the brakes, the accelerator. The water pump is electric and not a drive belt. Valves for the engine use free valve, so there is no camshaft. But it is powered by an ICE. 

Which one would you rather have?

@Kerem I will just drive a Barbie Jeep as a daily driver lol.

Neither as well.

It's a nonsense question. EV vehicles are inherently electronic.


I concur, it’s a hypothetical question that sounds like total nonsense.
