No modern car by a major manufacture is easily repairable, ICE or EV.
Exactly right, they are all extremely complex mechanically and electronically. Engine and transmission technology have come a long way, and I guess the absurd complexity is the trade-off we got for the improvements
The complexity does no necessity locking diagnostic code away from consumers or small shops. The complexity does not necessity creating increasingly granular parts that don't work between close models. The "improvements" are often just marketing hype or incremental nonsense. The infotainment centers on cars are a great example.
Right, those are the bullshit complexities that we don't need. I'm glad to have the beneficial ones like direct injection, advanced turbos, and variable valve timing (etc)
