What is the equivalent of "Apple removed 3.5mm jack" of your favorite products ?
My Mom is 70y/o and loves new tech. She bought a Tesla Model 3. I can’t stand it bc you have to press so many things to change the AC. I feel like it’s less safe vs physical controls. With my 2006 Scion xB, I just twist a knob for the AC.

Which is better for BIFL - electric or gas-powered transportation?
There's a Tesla out there with 1,250,000 miles on it - that's about 5 times what a reliable ICE car gets - so I think you could call that bifl Dude's on his 3rd or 4th battery, so clearly it's not too hard to swap it out (Supercharging lowers battery life, so you want to mostly slow charge over night instead of supercharge while out in town) Link: https://insideevs.com/news/699413/highest-mileage-tesla-model-s-3-batteries-14-motors/ EVs only got big in 2019 when the model 3 came out, so we only have 6 years of data for mass market EVs to work with to try to predict if they are bifl - but I think the early data is positive

Which is better for BIFL - electric or gas-powered transportation?
I think something nobody has bouight up at this juncture is that we really have no idea what the future holds for gasoline production. There's a non zero chance that access to gasoline will become nearly impossible or prohibitively expensive in the next 10 to 20 years. There is just a huge amount of uncertainty around the subject regardless of where you stand on the science or politics of fossil fuels. Electricity on the other hand is poised to only get more available and cheaper to produce as time goes on. As far as EVs go in general, I have an old model 3 (2018) and it has been extremely reliable besides one issue right when we got it that was quickly remedied. We have had some other issues with various peripherals but nothing major and they've mostly been handled in a very reasonable time frame. Certainly less hassle than any ICE car I've owned. I'll echo concerns about manufacturer capture, though. I don't really like being linked into the Tesla network, as it were. That said many of not most modern ICE vehicles also have this problem these days. One consideration is that there's a lot of new stuff coming up in the EV space. I've had my eyes on the Slate truck recently.
