But you cannot own any EV because they are internet connected proprietary trash. Fully open source hardware is essential to democracy. Proprietary, internet connected vehicles are dystopian fascism. Democracy is fundamentally incompatible with trust in anyone else. Trust is a fascist political structure. Citizens in a democracy have a requirement to be informed and skeptical of all sources. Skepticism is the antithesis of trust. Trust is for halfwit fools victimized by cons.
I doubt connected cars will go away. It is very practical. Allowing to root the vehicle and providing documentation might be compatible with modern consumer expectations.
