I was watching a technical review video of a E-car (must have been 3 years ago). E-cars are figured to have only about half the number of parts...as a gas/diesel car.

So what impressed me was you could pull into a station...hook up the cabling and determine the failing component in a minute. They had determined that a 18-year old kid with minimal training could then watch the repair video....remove the failing part, and install the new part.

In their mind...50 years in the future, with mostly only e-cars, mechanics would not exist.

50 years in the future, we'll be lucky if we - as America - will exist.

Or have safe landfills for all those lovely worn-out E-car batteries.

Reminds me of the hospital scene in Idiocracy.
