That's one of the factors that keeps me from getting an EV. It'll always be worse for the environment if I get a new car - EV or not - rather than continue keeping this old diesel in good working condition and driving it until it dies, because its manufacturing carbon cost is already spent. So the more I drive it, the more I dilute it.

But really, the real reason is because modern cars are friggin' spying devices. And that too goes for EVs and not EVs. That's really the biggest turnoff for me. I swear to God, when this car dies, I'm seriously considering going carless again, because I just don't want a car that's connected to the internet 24/7, spying on me and pulling software updates without my knowledge or my consent.
