We cannot quite justify how there has seemed to be little customer reluctance, before EV, about vehicles
-- with diminished repairability, far away from the paradigm of e.g. Dante Giacosa (must be repaired with tools found from drugstores in barren lands), or exemplary car-making like that of old Toyota (can be abused spectacularly and still works);
-- with diminished lifespans;
-- with multiplied points of failure;
-- with little guarantee for privacy (see europe's "e-call", but also other embedded GPS systems);
-- with open doors to malicious third-party hacking;
-- with useless-to-irritating costly features built-in - boosting the price for systems you want removed;
-- with poor quality materials in the areas of creaky, fragile, smelly etc.;
-- (surely the list could extend).
