Can’t wait for a bunch of shade tree mechanics to electrocute themselves trying to fix EVs in a few years.
ETA: Everyone who downvotes me must post a link to documentation on how to actually service an EV at home, under a tree, without a bunch of fancy tools.
Dumb rhetoric that corpos use to justify killing right to repair
How many people break their arms in belt assemblies? How many people forget to chock the wheels when they disconnect the differential and go “what the fuck it’s in park” when their car then rolls down the driveway and runs over their legs? How many people scald themselves on exhausts? Etc etc
I’m not gonna electrocute myself on some Teslas battery pack just cause Elon won’t release the specs.
Internal combustion 4 life
incredibly dumb
You won’t be saying that when you’re paying Elon or Ford or Chevy or VW or BYD for firmware update so you can drive to work.
Brand new ICE cars have firmware updates that stop you from driving until they’re complete too.
Do you think car enshitification is specific to a particular drive train? Yikes. All cars want your "as a service" money.
No, which is why I’m not buying any car made after 2015.
Even if it kills me to keep it running.
That's reasonable in a way that acting like it's about ice vs electric isn't.
