As someone who works on his own cars what concerns me is we NEED right to repair before we move into these EV cars. These companies are literally implementing "security" features that prohibit the owner from DIY. Soon these same "activist" will be paying 2x cost of parts and repairs thinking they are "saving environment" only thing they saving is these big companies shareholders.,(reply>), I really want to start converting my own evs,(reply>), I read 2 stories of people complaining that the replacement batteries cost MORE THEN THE CAR itself!! Lol. People are stupid.,(reply>), @Soundwave Superior You can find plenty of youtube videos of diy ev repair and modification, its very much possible.,(reply>), @Delimon007 Put simply, it's way easier to strip control away from the average guy when you're discussing electronic operating systems over traditional mechanics. This is why I was railing on Volkswagen so much in my earlier comments, because no sir, you can't actually easily fix one with a bit of know how. I've seen it attempted before, and it's impossible to reliably shut off the warning lights on a repair job without either ponying up for a specialized error resetting tool Volkswagen doesn't hand out easily, or relying on third party devices that do not have a good success rate at actually clearing them. Depending on what the fix was, you also cannot completely fix the problem without clearing that error as well. I'm not saying go regulate, but I'm also not going to ignore that what Tesla does turns repair on its head and gives plenty more power to the manufacturer to stymie home-repair without necessarily creating a right-to-repair issue.<br><br>It's one thing to make an engine in such a way where you need some esoteric wrench to get at a bolt in the engine bay. If you're desperate enough, you can machine a facsimile and the manufacturer can't complain about you doing it unless you royally screwed something up in the process and broke the engine somehow. You can't do that with a computer operating system without giving the manufacturer wide berth to declare the fact you were monkeying around in there something that voids the warranty, absolving them of a lot of repercussions. The issue here is the companies have already demonstrated (and won) ways of bypassing right-to-repair as a concept entirely by giving themselves a legal back-door to deny repair services and bypass Lemon laws by way of saying you voided the warranty and it's not their fault unless you go through the dealer and pay markup. Nothing wrong with anticipating an issue and bringing up that it's probably a good idea to build in something so we don't need to get a class-action suit going and potentially screw ourselves in the process.,(reply>), @soundwave superior.  Are you telling me that the  0.1% couldn't start a business and train people from the other 99.9%? We've had rich rebuilding Tesla's for quite a while now.  Until the last few years there hasn't been enough Tesla's for alot of Tesla repair shops to have sufficient customers for a viable business.  I doubt 99.9% of people could repair a modern vehicle and yet my shade tree mechanic can still work on my new vehicle even if he has to look at the manual
