It seems that corporations have decided to pursue DRM, and people are either knowingly or unknowingly accepting it. The cars are still selling- and I don't see many people at the junkyard with me pulling motors out of cars from 1993.
People like us are pretty much being forced to DIY everythig from whatever parts we can find. If I wanted the look of a Tesla, I would find a body only tesla (somehow), and then stick a 95 toyota camry's motor and trans in it.
Everyone else will just continue spending all of their money on a car whose utility drops more and more every day.
- solatic 9y agoMostly unknowingly, I would wager. The consequences of deciding to buy a car with DRM are too far removed from the time of purchase. Also, because the mass market isn't knowledgeable enough, it has a higher tendency to simply accept the rising cost of maintenance as inflation, rather than a concerted attempt to raise costs to the consumer.
- quuquuquu 9y agoI completely and totally agree. Most people have no desire to look at a wiring schematic, troll around a junkyard, plasma cut, sand body panels, etc. I do these things on a weekly or monthly basis when I am working on a new project car for myself or to sell or for my friends. Maybe other people value their time and effort differently from me, but they don't realize just how much money and freedom they are sacrificing by buying a DRM car. They either don't know that they are signing up to be exploited, or they feel they have no other choice.
