    I fully expect that aftermarket buttons for dashboards will become a range of popular products, from things like this all the way up to a full dashboard replacement.

      For the Tesla enthusiasts that want their car to feel like a real car.

      I’ll just get something else than a Tesla when EV’s get common enough.

      I’m also interested in seeing used car prices for EVs. Like how much is a 20 year old Tesla/EV worth, and what range do you get at that time?

        It’s not a Tesla nor 20 years old, but:

        Before my Leafs battery melted (no active cooling, thanks Nissan) we were being offered 16k or so on the private market when it was 4.5 years old. Had gone from a max range of about 154 to 140ish in that time

        It has a brand new battery now so that changes things, I’ll admit. Newer cars will have longer lasting batteries in no small part thanks to cooling the fucking Things lol

      You just made me realize I want a standardized modular interfacing system for dashboards. Like a Framework laptop for cars. That would be so dope

        That would be so cool! Not proprietary enough to sell the idea to automakers, but if the things on a dashboard could be switched out like the accessories of a desktop computer, we would quickly see what people actually want in their cars.
