  27. A friend of mine and I were discussing this some time ago. It took us both a long time to realize that we weren't really "car guys". The only reason why we know as much about cars as we do is because we both grew up poor and in a semi-rural area. If you want to get anywhere, including a job, you need a car. The only cars we could afford were cars that barely functioned. If we wanted to keep those cars functioning, we either had to know a guy who could fix them without charging an arm and a leg (i.e. not a dealership) or fix them ourselves. The problem with adding more and more of certain types of technology and sophistication to a car is that long term reparability drops to zero much quicker than a car that doesn't have them. It's the reason why certain luxury car manufacturers have cars that are effectively worthless after a relatively short period of time. It becomes either financially unsustainable or technically impossible to maintain them. Internet-connected systems make this problem worse because the manufacturer could drop support for them at some future point and then prevent anyone from trying to maintain them later. EVs should, in theory, be easier to maintain that ICE vehicles and should require less maintenance. In theory this would be a good thing for people 10 to 20 years down the road who are buying these cars used because that's all they can afford. Unfortunately, most major EV manufacturers have adopted an active attitude of antagonization (that was a mouthful of unintended alliteration) towards third-party repair. I'm sure that this makes some board of directors somewhere very happy that Company has met its quarterly revenue targets, but in the long term the little guy always gets shafted.
