EV is definitely exciting, I am surprised it's not already become the dominant new car type. I feel like in car entertainment and phone integrations are a mismatch in industries, where cars should last 10-20 years or more, their software is going to be out of date in 5 years at best. It would take a system more like Tesla's to keep up, where they have constantly updating vehicle software. But you get that because you're a subscriber to their infrastructure, and you car is constantly internet connected.

> I am surprised it's not already become the dominant new car type Well, there is not the battery capacity and the company make no money from them so they don't sell them. > It would take a system more like Tesla's to keep up Pretty much all companies have started working on that. The big issues they usually put together tons and tons of vendor software. Another big issue is that some of their lower level parts are not upgradable at all, so even if you can upgrade your main computer that does not mean you can be quite as complete as Tesla can be.
