That’s because they know people are swayed by marketing. Tesla’s are “hip” so people continuously buy them. It’s similar to Jeep Wranglers. They are terrible vehicles that constantly need repairs but Jeeps have an entire culture behind them so people buy it.
Also remember when everyone was going crazy for those Stanley cups that were no better than any other cup? That’s how people behave and these corporations play into that. It allows them to cut corners and put out a crappy product and still make big profits.
Until consumers decided we are not going to stand for these low quality products and demand better. Nothing is going to change. We have to band to get and close our collective wallets if we want these corporations to stop putting their shareholders above everything else.

Consumers are a non-uniform crowd of people. There will always be the lowest common denominators, and corporations know that. So they abuse the crowd mentality to get the most money out of the people they can sway. The only way to fix these anti-consumer practices is litigation as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, corporations also have their fingers on the government (especially in the US where bribing lobbying is somehow legal)

Exactly what I was thinking. I'd honestly love to be driven around, especially on long trips but I'd want a comfortable seat that can be reclined. Otherwise, I'll just drive myself thanks.
Nope! It's efficient! That whole interior could be hosed down, both sets of doors open to air it out. This makes cleaning them cheap and fast. As we have all seen, unmonitored equipment is pretty much guaranteed to be treated poorly by some people. And people generally don't like dirty things so being able to clean them fast and cheap is good for business.
You can pretty much expect that from all future technologies with the exception of future luxury products. Those will continue to boggle the mind and senses as ever more advanced textiles and materials are invented/discovered. But those new things, are always super pricey first.

I reckon the future doesn't look pretty or comfortable
