Don’t know. Didn’t read it. Flattened my battery once in my petrol car and couldn’t get in because of immobiliser.
I love EVs but hate the scope creep and electric vehicles being associated with data mining and lock out. Of course some other non EVs are going that route also.
I agree, but it doesn’t matter. The average shopper associates teslas with all EVs. They see this article and think “no chance I’m getting locked out of my gas car! Ill never buy and EV!”, not “no chance I’m getting locked out of my EV! I’ll buy a Leaf instead of a Tesla!”
While I agree with this thing being a propaganda piece, Tesla is often making this laughably easy, with their total disregard for basic security, safety and redundancy. Some manufacturer needs to step up as “the face of EVs”, because Tesla is giving everyone in the industry a bad rep.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It’s news because it’s anti-EV propaganda funded by the gas industry. Articles like this exist solely to get car buyers on the fence to not buy an EV.
100% this. I wonder how many non-EV cars broke down in the heat but didn’t make the news…
People buying EVs get them from vegetable stands, not the “auto industry”
No, just buy a Nissan Leaf…
Not all electric vehicles are Tesla…

Which is the exact goal of this article.
Average American consumer. In the UK, Prius was massive hybrid wise. Tesla is at premium end now, but Nissan always had a presence.
