How is it worse when they turn off your EV without your permission than when they turn off your ICE without your permission? Obviously you have never been late on child support payments. You have more to be concerned about than just a fucking remote switch in your car.

Because you can't just buy another ecu and slap it in, tune it and drive. High end motor controllers are really effing dangerous let alone harder for idiots like me to wrap their heads around how to get stuff running right without setting anything on fire.
Of course I haven't been late on a child support payment. I've never had a kid. 😮💨
Electronics are replaceable, just like an ECU. Someone will make a new VFD controller and bypass all of the security controls when it becomes a problem. There are hot-rod guys that have these EVs torn down and know them inside out.
Yup. But, yes not the same level as aftermarket ICE stuff now.
It's also exceptionally dangerous to play with that stuff casually. It's beyond my capability.
