Auto manufacturers lost me when they began being so hostile to people wanting to maintain or repair their own vehicle.

Much of my 80s model pickup can be disassembled with a basic set of screwdrivers and wrenches. If my Chevy Volt bricks because the battery has an aging cell, it has to be towed to Chevy to pay $200 for them to turn of a software alert and allow it to charge.

I do like electric vehicles but its insane how absolutely terrible they are when it comes time to work on them.
