>>13221528>Governments around the world want to ban fuel powered vehicles.No they don't; that's just an outright lie. They want people to switch from gas to electric - there has never been any credible indication that they want to ban gas vehicles.
>The problem with this is battery powered vehicles are much more expensive than fuel powered vehicles so only the elite will be able to afford them to drive aroundYes, and airplane tickets used to be so expensive that only the elites could buy them. Things become cheaper over time. Besides, they aren't even very expensive already, and if you think that they are, then you probably drive around in a shitbox anyway.
>They also think full self-driving will be a thing so they think they will make even more money from people renting their expensive battery powered carsAhh yes, who can forget about elite Uber drivers. Great point you've got there, retard.
>Look at Tesla where all repairs have to be done by Tesla,No one's stopping you from repairing it yourself. In fact, an electric vehicle is objectively easier to repair than a gas vehicle.
>updates are forced, and features locked behind a paywallJesus christ, you don't even want an electric car, so why are you complaining about additional updates and features behind a paywall. Just don't pay for such superfluous nonsense. You sound like a genuine retard.
>cancel cultureWhat, you're worried you'll stop getting gigs at the comedy store and will lose your twitter account. Pull your head out of your ass, and stop being so media-obsessed.
>disable your battery powered carLol, no. If you're car is offline, they can't do anything beyond slashing your tyres. There'd need to be an internet signal on literally every corner of the globe for them to be able to add features that ensure your car is permanently online, but then, as already mentioned, electric vehicles are so simple, that it would be a piece of cake to just modify the car so that it is disconnected to the internet.
