I feel like you atleast have some wiggle room with electric cars, I cant imagine that it would be too hard to just rip out and replace most of the bs parts. Mostly cause you dont have a massive engine block to deal with, just wires.
No but it also shouldnt be complex enough to need it, all the computer needs to do is control the motors and the shifter nothing else. I dont need cruise control, I dont need lane assist, I dont even need powered windows ya know what fuck the doors altogether. Everything else IE lights, air, radio can be controlled through a rather simple tertiary power system.
So how are you going to monitor and control the temperature of the battery pack so it doesn’t blow up in your face? How do you control charging rates? How do you pre-heat the pack when when it’s cold outside?
And those are the just the first things I can think of in less than 15 seconds.
I’m never buying a newer car.
enshittification might just be how capitalism destroys itself.
The thing with new cars is that they turn into old cars.

Oh no im talking ripping literally everything out and starting more or less from scratch, battery and body only.
So you are writing your own firmware and updates too?

True, I’ll never a own a car with technology that can send my data to anyone else.
