I would be more inclined to buy an electric car if it ran NO software. Battery. Motor. Potentiometer (aka gas pedal). Another potentiometer (aka brake pedal) Relays and such for turn signals. Easy to understand wires. Easy to modify. Easy to add a computer if I want. This is how it worked with cars in the old days and it was (and is) a great hobby. We stand the cusp of a renaissance of that culture with now even more simple and straightforward technology, and it gets all screwed up with bells and whistles and algorithms and touchscreens and self driving. Why doesn't Tesla make a car like described here. I bet it would be much cheaper, or at least a bit cheaper, given most of the cost is lithium.
