I’m glad it’s being reported.
If they can lock you out for a lack of a new battery, they can lock you out over some parking tickets in the brave and new world.

GEEZE. The guy is ranting for attention. His 12v battery died. A simple jump from another 12v battery gets the doors open.

They can lock you out if your spouse tells them you are not respectful to her.

Yes, you should buy a new car before the mandated kill switch is installed on all cars.

Here is a bidness idea for any electronic- or computer-oriented people here on FR.

Start a business disabling internet connectivity to cars, especially any type of lock-out features. Or subscription nonsense like subscription heated seats.

There’s never been a lock invented that can’t be picked so probably there is some way to get around this stuff.

Don’t look at me, I had one class in electronics and that was plenty.

They’ll be able to lock anyone out, for anything they want if this sh*t continues.

If you have a battery powered radio and the battery is dead YOU have to replace the battery or it won’t work.

This is the same. It’s a battery powered car.

When the overlords decide we can’t drive anymore, they’ll have our smart cars disabled.

If there’s no power how does an electronic lock open?
