      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.

    Does everyone really want the entire dash covered in screens? Is that really what everyone wants? I really dislike where car design is going. But I like buttons and dials so maybe I’m just old and dumb or something.

      you’re right. apparently the article was referring to the sustainability of the interior materials. that makes the title misleading.

    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.

    There’s nothing ‘sustainable’ or environmentally friendly about buying the latest and greatest disposable tech toys.

    Ill stick with a diesel ford excursion… For me that’s the real ‘sustainability’ champion because I can fix everything on it myself with a set of basic tools, and keep it running for 20+ years. Not to mention not having a car payment frees up a ton of money.
