OP is talking about software updates, and you are talking about one of the few products nowadays where decades old models can be maintained without excessive cost.
In most countries the Model T is exempt from any kind of safety inspection and classes of tax, making it an excellent option for the maliciously compliant engineer π
Maybe the EU πͺπΊ should legislate that German car companies should cease to produce new cars and instead commit to repairing what they have already produced, for free presumably?
Why not? While they're at it they can start making buses and trains.
Mercedes in particular absolutely nailed bus design with their Citaro, then promptly proceeded to make a hideous looking successor π€’ perhaps their car designers can fix that
Yes! Definitely doable, although admittedly a bit longer than what i'd be comfortable with for a commute in my area (quite a few hills for me sadly).
So I'm assuming that would be 17km from home to work + 17km from work to home, totalling a 34km round-trip. Don't forget to give your body sufficient fuel to last the ride
I would suggest going on some shorter rides first to build up your comfort and familiarity. After a while you should eventually settle into a comfortable pace and cadence, so you don't run out of energy on your commute.
