I never spoke to how easy any of that is, only that people are doing it anyway. And they could document the car, or teardowns can be made easier legally. The core point being we can either discourage or empower. Where we do the latter, all sorts of solutions to those challenges will be found. Heck, I just did a component level repair on my Ford SUV. Mid 2000 era. The whole sub system is a few hundred dollars. There are people doing refurbishments for less. I bought a MOSFET and used the skills I have. Not repairing things is a huge waste. I do not care how complex they are, only that people are totally in the clear to learn how to repair, repurpose. Doing that is basic for me. Grew up that way and never really quit. Tons of us out there doing way more than people think.
