EVs apparently have around 30 moving parts compared to ICE vehicles' 3000 ish. Which suggests we could be on the verge of a golden era of automotive simplicity

EVs apparently have around 30 moving parts compared to ICE vehicles' 3000 ish. Which suggests we could be on the verge of a golden era of automotive simplicity, modularity, tinkering, etc. But no, this is what we will get. Locked subscription-only features, pay-per-mile, spyware, crapware, bloat, software-enforced maintenance and obsolescence, software-certified components (no 3rd party replacements), etc, etc, just like printers, but even worse. The manufacturers should restrain themselves, or ownership will become so onerous that people don't bother and just use uber etc.
