    a time when windows were rolled up by hand

    If you are talking about using the handle, then there are still plenty of cheaper cars that have that, depending upon where you are looking.

      I don’t think I’ve seen manual windows in a car for at least 15 years. My lowest trim absolute base model civic in 2012 still had electric windows and would have been the same for the whole gen so at least 2010 for Honda. My 03 Saturn ion had manual windows (and the little thumb stick for the drivers mirror, my bae) but base model manual windows were already on the way out around then, at least in the US.

        The Slate Truck has them, so assuming that that goes into production, it’ll be an example.

        The Slate Truck’s base configuration, called the “Blank Slate”, does not include an infotainment system, speakers, or power windows.
