Dumb rhetoric that corpos use to justify killing right to repair
How many people break their arms in belt assemblies? How many people forget to chock the wheels when they disconnect the differential and go “what the fuck it’s in park” when their car then rolls down the driveway and runs over their legs? How many people scald themselves on exhausts? Etc etc
I’m not gonna electrocute myself on some Teslas battery pack just cause Elon won’t release the specs.
Internal combustion 4 life
incredibly dumb
You won’t be saying that when you’re paying Elon or Ford or Chevy or VW or BYD for firmware update so you can drive to work.
Do you think car enshitification is specific to a particular drive train? Yikes. All cars want your "as a service" money.
No, which is why I’m not buying any car made after 2015.
Even if it kills me to keep it running.
That's reasonable in a way that acting like it's about ice vs electric isn't.
Brand new ICE cars have firmware updates that stop you from driving until they’re complete too.
Wouldn't you just disconnect the battery before doing work?
Pardon? Oh Internal Combustion Engine.
You might want to be more clear given what people in the US these days usually mean when they say "ICE"... But also, what a stupid hill to die on.
