Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models

Ownership has been flipped upside down for modern EV owners (and actually a lot more). You don’t own the machine, nor the keys, you license the experience- software, data, and even the ability to start/ move the vehicle. 30k+ for remote access, EULAs, feature subscriptions to a connectivity mesh? Also the monthly connectivity costs and software updates for… how long?
I’m not sure EV’s are the brilliant solution to modern transport, entertainment perhaps but little to nothing to do with modern or futuristic transport.

That’s a corpo problem, not an EV problem. They could very easily make a perfectly fine EV that isn’t a motorized iPad, if they chose to. But they aren’t. The EV push just happened to coincide with the global ramping up of enshittification that had already begun for all cars regardless of their energy source.

If you want to be a billionaire go for it. There’s literally no competition in this segment and everyone wants it. Just. Don’t. Be. Evil?

Yes of course, electric motors are by and far more reliable, stronger, faster, cleaner, quieter, less polluting, simpler, easier to repair, cheaper… should I continue…
Electric vehicles on the other hand 😅
