The DRM thing unfortunately has nothing to do with EVs and everything to do with the computerization of cars. All cars have gotten more and more computerized and harder to repair with more DRM. EVs arguably fundamentally require heavy computerization more than ICE cars, but you're not gonna avoid it in a brand new diesel car either.
- jimnotgym 1y agoThat is why I keep fixing up my old Diesels. No DPF, basic EGR, basic computer, no worries.
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoThat's why I said repair regulations are needed for all cars not just EVs.
- arpinum 1y agoThe EU did put in regulations, but they did the opposite and essentially mandated DRM. They want to prevent owners from turning off nanny devices or overriding pollution controls.
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoCan you share what car repairability regulations did the EU put into place? Because following the posts of EV Clinic it seems like the opposite.
- mort96 1y agoI don't think there's disagreement here: > The EU did put in regulations, but they did the opposite and essentially mandated DRM is the same statement as: > following the posts of EV Clinic it seems like [the EU did] the opposite Where both posts use "the opposite" to mean "the opposite of creating in regulations to enforce repairability" .
