It isnt, but unless you sink the price of a new car into an EV-conversion kit, the only options are older gas cars for consumer-friendliness unfortunately.

Other than writing your Congress-people (lol) or donating to non-profits that support Right to repair I have nothing at the moment. In my (limited) experience it seems that most cars built after 2010 have some sort of “only the dealership” type thing built in, so at the moment its kind of just “buying used”. Ive been considering getting an early model Prius when my car goes (pre 2015) but, depending on how the rest of this presidency plays out I may not even be in the country.

As a right to repair advocate, the fact you had to take it to the dealer is a turn off for me. I’ll be driving my 03 shit box til it dies or I move to a country with good public infrastructure

Not talking about replacing the battery, I’m talking about every part having an encrypted module that only the dealership has the key to, meaning only the dealership can replace the part.

edit: and also the fact that most of them have that stupid giant tablet instead of buttons, and spy on you without consent.

edit 2: the other reply proved my point. you shouldnt have to take your car to the dealer for repairs. You should be able to do it yourself if you wanted to. The dealer shouldnt own a repair monopoly.

Except they made sure you couldn’t repair it so You’ll end up dropping that 50k once every 5-10 years anyway 🤪

(Im pro-EV btw. just wish EVs were pro-me)

Even before I was full on anti-capitalist I was anti-disney. Ive always hated just how… artificial that company has felt. They can make good movies dont get me wrong, but their culture, the people who are fans, scare me.

So in conclusion I will never have this opportunity. I did write a nice email to Mr.Bezos after canceling prime though.

without your comment I wouldnt have though nothing of it. With your comment I suspect you have a piss fetish
