No way that holds up in court. But in what situation would that appear in court unless someone has money to burn?
This kind of shit is what makes me not want an EV, that and I guess the ease of repair but that could change with proper regulation and resources. I'm all for EVs but my current relatively effecient ICE car doesn't spy on me and that's important as well.
This kind of shit makes me want to build an EV using a kit.
Any recommendations? Not sarcasm, I genuinely wanna know.
Here's a documentary about folks who wanted to do just that. It's more difficult than you'd think.
