I’m not even convinced that the cars won’t work without working servers. All of the links in TFA are behind a paywall I’m not going to bother working around, but is there any evidence that Fiskers need a home to phone in order to keep working? Or is it that one can’t remotely start the vehicle (as one example) without working servers?
‘Cuz $DEITY knows that “bricked” has a very wide range of colloquial definitions.

- dns_snek 2y agoI expect government(s) to step in at some point and ban the practice entirely because it's such a foolish cybersecurity risk to have unnecessary single points of failure. It's basically a big red button that reads "cripple our economy, please" that our adversaries can hit at any time.

Not all the links are behind paywalls. Fisker themselves are among the groups saying they don't know how to get the cars running again.
