looking at car manufacturers paywalling acceleration n stuff, i am starting to think i gotta look for the best jailbreak / opensource firmware project options if i ever consider an electric car… similar to the android world… i hope that is or going to be an option
@milan ECU hacking is very much an option in ICE cars and there's loads of information out there, so I don't see why it would end up any different with EVs :)
@Bigfood it wouldnt surprise me if such a thing would gain in popularity. similar things are seen with other brands already... question (for me) is, whats the state once a used ev wont require a $20.000 battery replacement
@milan
Well...
In may I have to return my electric Corsa, end of leasing.
The car dealer is not going to give me the car for the estimated value because used car prices are higher than estimated.
The cars battery will have 5 years guarantee left. 8 years guarantee total.
@milan having an open source automotive control system? That’s a big order. We are talking real time critical hardware and software. There is comma.ai which does level 2 autonomous driving well. However, I’m not aware of a working open source automotive management system.
