Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout

I refuse to buy a DRM infested iPhone / un-rootable Android on wheels with data hoarding spyware and no access to service manuals, parts or service tools. Also decent build quality without excessive and inappropriate use of plastic. My car is a not a 10 year disposable item. ~< 2008 era cars for me.

What has that got to do with EVs?

I think he’s saying most EV’s are modern cars with this malicious tech. Personally just gonna avoid buying a car as long as I can

I wish it was most. I think you can safely say all. As before the EV trend started, this tech started being used in regular ICE vehicles as well.
Unless you have found an example otherwise. It would be nice to at-least have one option.

What om specially questioning is calling EVs disposable. Why?
ky56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
There are people who have attempted to get battery replacements for the early model Teslas and the price was either inanely high or most of the time unavailable. For all intents and purposes, I interpret this as the car is not meant to be serviced or repaired long term and therefore disposable.
Granted this is not exclusive to EVs. Most ICE vehicles made in the last 10 years have or will be affected by unavailable parts or worse, serialized parts. Much like FutureMotion’s Onewheel that Louis Rossmann has been covering, even if third parties are willing to make aftermarket parts, they either can’t bypass the DRM or if they do they will be sued into oblivion. Both EV and ICE cars are heading this way and it’s a environmental disaster.
