My fears are software/firmware issues or battery pack failure. It’s an impossible problem for the common man to solve and you are beholden to the manufacturer. And at what cost? Minor accident? Manufacturer declares it unfixable and deactivates it. Doesn’t even matter if you repair it. Boo!

I really want one, but I can still repair my current car myself if needed.

    No, you cannot roadside repair a car with a broken timing chain or clogged catalytic converter, or broken transmission.

    What the hell does that have to do with anything? It is trivial to tow a standard car to my home and effect those repairs almost immediately. Just order the parts.

    What about the EV? None of the above can easily be done.
