  • A battery

    A highly complex system with support systems to prevent it from literally blowing up (mmmmm tasty lithium)

    A battery management system

    A seriously complex piece of model specific code that is usually proprietary and has hardware level bricking fuses (so fuck you if it has a fault)

    And also, all the other management shit like regen braking and what have you.

    You’re doing a “reduction”. If you reduce literally anything to such high abstraction it seems simple. Yes, quantum physics is also " just " an observation of a continuous system, nothing to it mate

    ICE cars can be completely reassembled with a couple of wrenches. The most proprietary thing in the whole system is the ECU, and you can swap that and whatever if you wish to do so.

    So much easier UNTIL one of the six million proprietary silicon bullshit breaks (or planned obsolescence) and you’re SoL without official manufacturer support.

    EVs are a maintainability and reparability nightmare, despite not needing maintenance as often

    Anyone crazy enough to design a FOSS EV?

    If you save some files on the desktop or documents, and OneDrive activates it’s backups later, it will forcefully move your files to the cloud.

    And if you’re not a paying customer and have gigabytes of data, it will shit itself midway to bark at you to pay up because your free 5Gb is up.

    Now, a normal, regarded dumbass (the target audience) would just pay the tax, but if you have an IQ above that of average coral reef you can take your data back by quitting onedrive, copying everything back, and disabling onedrive backup.
