I think the lack of understanding was why somebody who spent tens of thousands on what basically amounts to a kickstarter campaign for a new car is surprised when the new company folds and leaves their customers in a lurch. This probably wouldn't be as big of a deal in decades past. Worst case, you just had to learn how to do car maintance yourself, or take your car to an expensive mechanic that worked on oddities. But now? When almost everything is software controlled, and the company that controls that software disappears and takes their keys with them? You're screwed.
