Well, basically all car manufacturers have this kind of anti-consumer behavior. So you end up not being able to buy anything that's produced after 2000. Definitely not EVs where manufacturers put even more software locks like this. It is a terrible turn-off from what supposed to be better for our environment.
EV manufacturers are taking notes from computer and mobile phones industry where only authorized technicians can replace with the authentic/genuine <brand> parts
