My Jeep has needed thousands of dollars of repairs in the last year alone.

And, I gave a trailseeker a go a week ago, and it's a much better car than a lot of the hybrid and ice cars I tested

Seen lots of issues with other jeeps and even ford Rangers too. ICE is hot garbage.

The crazy part is that ice manufacturers aren't doing ota updates, and a lot of cars can be stolen in a few seconds because they aren't fixing major vulnerabilities these updates could bring.. But people like yourself probably just blame the government because the manufacturers aren't fixing the bugs anymore. Whereas, OTA is common on EVs.

Also ICE, generally can't (ironically) do things like de-ice in the morning before you start the car and heat ice cars in advance too in the morning. Not unless you want a flat battery or a garage full of Carbon monoxide
