My 2025 Jeep Compass shuts down its ICE at nearly every stop, then when its starts back up the battery draw alarm comes ON. Its a good thing I lease it, otherwise I would have sold it already.
I want my manual transmission, hand-cranked windows back and all the automation gone from my cars. I do not want my car to speak to me, to tremble the steering wheel when I get too close to the lane divider, or shut down the engine by ONSTAR when its reported stolen.
I am not against EVs, I am against buying something that is more complex than what it needs to be. EVs are starting an arms-race that is not going to be in the best interest of anyone and anything, its shaping up to be a suicide-cult.
