[QUOTE="Deceptive, post: 16640971, member: 118253"] Manufacturers are embracing EVs and I have a theory why. 1. Like Tesla is currently doing, other manufacturers are going to jump on the ship and use Tesla as leverage on only allowing manufacturers to repair the vehicles. 2. They are going to outline a strict recharge process and they will keep track of it via the ECU. If you do not charge how they outline, they will refuse warranty on the batteries. 3. I bet they will start coming out with "suggested" battery replacement intervals. I bet your car will start, annoyingly, notifying you when battery replacement is nearing. They will institute a hard stop on where the car locks itself up "because the battery becomes a liability" and the replacement will be very expensive. 4. If you try to modify the car in any way, outside of tint and wheels, the car will brick itself and they will charge you a fee to unlock it after they void your warranty. Manufacturers are seeing the control Tesla has over it's cult and they want a piece of that Jim Jones Kool Aid. [/QUOTE]
