It wasn't even that long ago either. It was still relatively common to have single income households in the 80's when I was born.

My mum wasn't working at all when my older siblings were born, and she only started working when I started preschool.

Also, her minimum wage income boosted my parents savings so much they were able to buy an investment property and drop money into other things.

I know right. Sometimes just the act of asking is appreciated.

Right? Like why isn't there the ability for me to dictate power output from the motor rather than simply being on or off with speed being regulated via "things", breaks, accelerator, sensors, etc.

Little from column A, little from column B

I recently bought an ebike that has peddle assist settings of 1-5. With 1 being lowest and 5 being maximum. These settings essentially act like gears setting the maximum motor power.

In crowded areas I set the speed to 1 so the bike can't exceed 15kph, on open roads I set the speed to 5 which is unlimited. I would definitely want this in a car.

I've been thinking about this for a while now, how I just want a basic bitch electric car. No centre console, no futuristic screens, no sensors, no cameras. Give me a normal fucking car with dials, a speedo, some padles on the steering wheel to adjust power output to replace gears and no driver assist. Sell it to me for cheap and let me drive my car. That's all I want.

As someone living in Queensland Australia. it's not a matter of avoiding being stung, instead you simply hope it isn't the bad one this time.
