I'd like a simpler iphone that still works for business purposes, but doesn't have insane graphics, expensive cameras, crash detection, nanny features and tracking, etc. Basically an iphone 6 or 8, but one that doesn't get bricked by future ios updates. Our family all has 6 and 8s now and dread the day when they become obsolete.

Surely there's a market for this? I'm basically someone who needs more than a flip phone for work. I've gotten accustomed to the ios way of life, but I don't need all the new stuff.

I’m the early 80s, Datsun hatchbacks were rated at 42mpg Highway. In the late 20’s you could achieve 25mpg in a Ford. Neither was very safe or luxurious though.
While I’m amazed by the low emissions of modern engines, we should have better mpg by now. Too many amenities, weight, etc on newer cars for my taste.

We’ll, we watched both movies as a family (13+15yo kids) and everyone enjoyed them. We all thought the second was even better. I’m usually a pretty harsh critic but didn’t see anything bland or neutral about it. Like most movies, I probably won’t rewatch it anytime soon though.

I'm old enough to remember when Domino's had it's original delivery fleet (mid 1980's?). Seems like a great use-case for small EVs, and franchises should have enough power available to charge cars since they already use high voltage for ovens.

The biggest hurdle might be delivery drivers who can't estimate distances and range properly, or who drive aggressively and drain batteries.
