Are the BYD e6’s lack of features a dealbreaker or an advantage in disguise?

The lack of a lot of the features of other electric vehicles in its price range has been criticized for the BYD e6. There are some of the tech and luxury features you come to expect in modern cars that are absent, like some fancy infotainment setups or even a premium sound system. Also absent, are all the advanced driver assistance systems now becoming the norm. But this simplicity could also be regarded as an advantage in regard to reliability and user friendliness. This would be great for those who want fewer things that can go wrong, which ultimately will offer fewer complex systems and a more solid product – perhaps ideal for those who are looking for long term durability as opposed to leading edge features. That sparks a discussion of what really matters in a car: Is it better to have every possible gadget? Or is there value in a more stripped down, focused approach?
