EV is relevant because all of the bricked Fisker cars are EVs. Nothing stopping something similar from happening to modern ICE vehicles. TFA doesn't say that

EV is relevant because all of the bricked Fisker cars are EVs. Nothing stopping something similar from happening to modern ICE vehicles.
TFA doesn't say that all Fisker cars are bricked - It says that they become unusable do to minor maintenance issues that can't resolved without Fisker servers being online.
I wish I could buy an electric car with no radio transmitters and no ways to install software other than JTAG ports. I think that'll be possible in the relatively near future through EV conversions of legacy vehicles, though that route may have crash safety concerns.
- survirtual 2y agoI want a rugged EV so bad. No smart features, no phoning home, total control to the user, and designed to be beat up. I think an EV could be an absolute workhorse if built correctly. If I ever get the funds I'm building this vehicle for sure, because it is pretty much guaranteed no one else will.
- idratherbike 2y agoI am thinking of building one too. Having enough funds and know how of all the regulations is a big road block though. I want to go a step further and have an analog electric car, tired of the digital computer crap.
