  1. I agree that the supply chain is the motive that they cannot repair in a reasonable timeframe. BUUUT, it's completely their making, their choice, their problem, their mistake for having this. I do not see this as a good enough argument. Legislation should not care about this. If you can produce new cars, then you should be able to provide parts for the SAME FREAKING CARS. If you have "very lean supply chain" that's a you problem not a me problem. Overall, I think that a legislation stating that whatever you make, you cannot have license to sell unless you can provide service in a timely manner and provide replacement parts in a timely manner (I know, I know, timely is too subjective, I'm only saying the idea). If you do not provide them, then you are forced to release the schematics for the product and all of its parts. In case of service, those who still have warranty should be able to get a full refund. If you do not have the ability to fully provide the schematics for the product and all of its parts, then you cannot get the license to sell, easy. Ok, I know what I wrote above is currently impossible. Some parts cannot be made inhouse and also cannot be had with schematics, as they're 3rd party vendors who do not care. In this case there can either initially be made specific exceptions and b) longer term - the manufacturers of those parts be liable under the same as above, if they don't provide the parts for general sale, then they are forced to release the schematics. I think that in both cases, when aquiring a license to sell, the schematics should be provided upfront to the a government entity. So when needed, the schematics can be made public without interference or possible "accidents" from the original company. You know, sometimes I cannot not think how far we'd have reached if we weren't so petty. What I described above is so much extra work just because we cannot have common sense and a bit of moral integrity to not steal and profit from others. Sigh
