La crise de l’automobile allemande a révélé l’attachement profond du pays à la maîtrise du métal, à la combustion et au sport automobile. Une culture mise à mal par le véhicule moderne, dominé par le logiciel, la batterie et la conduite autonome.
I’d argue that a lot of Germans are rightfully nostalgic about the quality of cars from before the automotive industry pioneered enshittification in the mid 2000s. Electric cars weren’t even viable back then because of the state of battery technology. That only became decent well after all cars had already been thoroughly enshittified, so there is no way of buying a non enshittified electric car, because nobody is even making one.
