The analogy of the 1931 car is perfect. You can restore it and drive it to McDonalds but it lacks: seatbelts, power brakes, power steering, emissions controls.

The analogy of the 1931 car is perfect. You can restore it and drive it to McDonalds but it lacks: seatbelts, power brakes, power steering, emissions controls. Literally every safety, environmental, and comfort feature of the last 94yrs. Your electric car isn’t becoming a brick it’s simply not getting updates the hardware can’t handle. If you want new features you need new hardware, much like a classic car. You’re frozen in time with the hardware that shipped on it. You’re better off though because OTA updates advanced the features of your car by 10 years before the old hardware couldn’t keep up.
