    That’s a take I haven’t seen before, but I have to agree with it. I was looking forward to my next vehicle being an EV, hoping that would simplify the multitude of problems that I’ve been having with ICE cars (most notably, transmissions).

    What are the options now, when both gas and electric cars are more computer than automobile?

      Haha a bike.

      I hold out hope, actually, that as the right-to-repair movement continues to grow, eventually repairability and control will become more common consumer interests, in the same way that vehicle safety wasn’t something people thought about when buying a car before the 70s, and now it’s one of the main influences when buying a car.

      Once people start caring – and again, I believe this is the direction we’re heading – it will become something manufacturers have to design for.
