Fair enough.

You must be smarter at that than I am haha. I tried to be a ‘shade tree mechanic’ and was super disillusioned. It seems like any modern vehicle runs on specific replaceable modules and I had no power when the operation fell outside of the stated permitters

The technology and computations that used to exist in the angle and shape of the lobes in the overhead cam now are in firmware of the ECU.

I have built race cars and installed aftermarket ECUs and tuned cars. I can troubleshoot many electrical systems and electronics, abs possibly fix them. Been doing that for years.

But, I can't program new modules easily if one is totally borked.

Well, one thing is for certain. I’ve never read so much about EV’s as I have here!

I've designed ECUs

Cool. Then you can fix stuff I can't.

You dont need to redesign an ecu when your engine stops working

I could replace an ecu that's not dependent on all the dumb body module BS or that's been locked by remote.

You need to slap in a new ECU when you can't start your car because of a remote shut fit event. Replacing the ecu is just the easiest way to bypass the bits that are preventing the engine from starting and running normally.

All of you just caused me to sell my cars and buy a tricycle.

I hope you took the Fiat and bought BTC. Or just sold them for BTC directly.

I dissembled and scrubbed the VINs and sold the scrap to independent brokers for btc. I used a homeless man to do the transactions as my proxy. He received two sandwiches of his choosing.

Ugh, guess I’ve been over paying my homeless guy proxy 🤪

I’m generous with the vagrants.

Was it an e-tricycle? They can remote disable those if they dont want you to leave home and they can also shut off your power. What you need is a wood fired locomotive and good 'ol steel rail
