“It’s about control. The interconnected nature of all things electronic make the Internet of Things more than just personal assistants and home automation. It’s about control. If you think they’ll stop at EVs, just wait till you see what big tech is working on.”

Tesla didn’t lock him out. His 12v battery died and he was too stupid to jump it.

How does one jump an EV? If the EV is dead, it’s dead. It’s not like the old days where you could push the car down a slight incline and pop the clutch.

That’s why I’m happy to have my 79 C-10, a 68 Corvette and my current restoration project a 44 Willys MB. I like not having to worry about not being able to drive when I want and where I want.

The notion that electric car owners will know all the tricks and tips of owning an electric vehicle is amusing.

You can’t figure it out—if the product is not idiot-proof idiots will make a mess out of it.
