      I give you vegan leather

      Did we tell you that Saudis have invested $3B in Lucid? Yeah, the same regime that keeps kneecapping environmental protections.

      Also if that picture is from said SUV, I’m having a hard time figuring out how a set of good old mechanical gauges is less sustainable than screens

    Being an SUV, it’ll weigh 50% more than necessary. That outweighs almost any other sustainability considerations.

    The amount of screens in that is a hard nope for me. If A/C and radio/volume aren’t tactile buttons/knobs, that’s a deal breaker.

    I’d love to go electric but most of the electric vehicles I’ve seen are a) luxury and b) small. Like I want something large that can pull a trailer and haul my kayaks/bikes/skis/tools/etc.

    So an actual SUV (not a small suv like Tesla X) sounds great, but all this luxury shit is a big turnoff for me. It’s going to get beat to hell, and I don’t want to worry about fixing all this electronic shit like pop out door handles. I don’t even want power windows or AC.
