I wish someone made an EV with LFP batteries and as little software as possible, certainly no displays or a companion mobile app. Let me put an AliExpress parking camera in if I want one. Something that I can afford to own and maintain myself, without being dependent on repair shops with specialized tools or knowledge, or worse, the manufacturer, for service. Throw in a service manual with full schematics and I'll be elated.

- thfuran 2y agoBut what are the requirements on the display? Can you get away with one LED for a single pixel? That'd really let you cheap out on the camera too.
- kube-system 2y agoNo, the regulations do not specify technical specifications, they specify requirements in terms of actual visibility. 49 CFR 571.111 S14. specifies a test that the image must pass, and that would not pass: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/part-571/section-571.111#p-571.111(S14 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/part-571/section-571.1....)
- avidphantasm 2y agoYeah, I want a modern EV that is as simple and easy to work on as a VW Bug. Can Framework make a car?
- natch 2y agoModel 3 is pretty simple. You can literally hang a cloth over the screen covering it and still do pretty much everything, most of the time, if the screen bothers you. The car has a few physical hardware buttons that do what you need.
