Ford, here’s what you need to do. Cut all the fat and bloat from your EVs. Make the infotainment system a separate upgrade. Cut out all the software. Force dealerships to deduct 10k from their listed prices and watch the dough roll in. Come on, you can do this.

Fuck software. I miss having a car that couldn’t spy on me.

On the one hand, I understand the manufacturing appeal. On the other hand, this is how we get to crap like subscriptions for physical features in your car, like heated seats. I don’t want automakers taking the hardware I bought hostage.
