Bear in mind, all of this is still possible, and an issue, on ICE based vehicles. Even my older (pre in dash screen) Mini will throw up fake check engine and engine failure warnings if you don't take it into an authorized dealer for service. All the warnings go away the moment you punch in the service code. Why didn't I take it in for scheduled service? Oh, the engine had to be replaced cause it split open. Figured since I was only 6,000 miles short of my 50k service check before I had the entire engine replaced that I could skip it as the mechanic already checked everything else out... I should also point out that I can't even replace the CD Player/Stock Radio unit in the car with a more modern aftermarket part because the car's diagnostic system is built into it. Yes. You read right. Without the stock radio, there is no longer anything to read the sensors. Worrying about electrical cars being walled gardens is missing the forest for the slightly different trees.
