In my opinion, simple is good. I do admire the mechanical parts of the old diesel Mercedes, though, and enjoy the sound of the engine. I also like that I can drive my diesel as long as I want as long as I put fuel in the tank. Charging an electric car can take a while, but at some point charging an electric car might not take much longer than filling a tank with fuel.

I also like that electric cars are zero emissions, though the emissions from the facility that produces the electricity has to be considered, and also battery production and disposal. I'm not a fan of hybrid cars... pick a mood and stick with it. Haha.

I like that in theory an electric car is pretty much just a motor, battery, and brakes on wheels. SO many less parts to go wrong. But then any new car will have SO many gadgets that will still make them problematic anyway. And I really wish they would make new cars with the same vintage style with which they used to build cars. There isn't a single car built in recent times that I would ever consider owning based on the fact that I don't think any of them have very good styling (and they have too many parts).
