It speaks volumes to how terrible most modern automotive journalism is these days that a tech channel like LTT is making far more compelling automotive content.

In this video, they hit the nail on the head with the problem with most modern cars regardless of if they are ICE or EV. They are boring and have capabilities that you simply cannot extract on public roads. They are too fast, too powerful and loaded with way too many electronics.

And then there’s the price!

Maybe for Linus, money doesn’t matter, but they at least acknowledge that costs for modern cars is ridiculous. I’ve unsubscribed to a few automotive channels lately because those hosts just can’t produce videos anymore that regular folks like me can relate to. I got sick and tired in hearing Doug Demuro talking down about everything but the top model of a car’s model range. He’s say stuff like “well the real car enthusiasts out there would just buy the _____ model” and he’d totally gloss over the fact that the top model might cost $10, 20, 50k more than the already expensive base price. Fuck off with your gatekeeping, but I ain’t dropping 6 figures on a car even if I had that money.

I’ve watched most of the car videos LTT has put out and I hope more is coming.
