Or...if we decide to drive into a major city near us to protest some governmental, social, or financial issue, we will find our cars inoperable.
RLMOREL: Hey, rktman, I can’t make it to the protest about the proposed Federal Gun Registry Database today. My car won’t start up, so I won’t be able to meet you there.
RKTMAN: Mine won’t start either. I was sent an email from the manufacturer saying my brand of EV is experiencing a date bug in the software they are working to fix, and I won’t be able to drive.
RLMOREL: Huh. You said you had a Tesla?
RKTMAN: Yeah. A brand new one, a TS-3.
RLMOREL: My brother has a brand new one as well, a TS-3 like yours, but I just saw him pull out of his driveway.
RKTMAN: And you have a 2027 Ford F=5500?
RLMOREL: Yeah.
RKTMAN: Well, my neighbor has one too, and I saw him leave his house about an hour ago...
Some of us know how this plays out.
