Take Good Care of Your Current Cars
Pretty soon you won't want to ever buy a new one.

I have a '61, a '65. a '66, a '67, an '83, and an '05 (the last two are pickups) so no worries here. Have had a few of these 40 years or more. They are in top shape.
The last time I thought about buying a new car was 1987 when the Grand National GSX or whatever it was came out. Re-painted a GTO instead. |

If I ever need to or want to replace my '02 and '04, it will be to go to something older, not newer.

I've been driving cars from the 2000-2004 era since 2006 and have no plans to change. I do have up to 40 more years of driving in front of me. I'm not sure how that's going to play out. Maybe I will eventually get more modern cars or maybe I will be like GTOguy at his age.

I wouldn't worry too much about this ... if EVs fall on their face which is likely we will still be able to get internal combustion engine powered vehicles ... Toyota as an example has been purposely slow on EV adoption ....GM and Ford are being bullied into EVs by the FJB administration. And if Trump wins that BS will come to a screeching halt.

My '22 Silverado is the only vehicle that could be 'shut down' remotely. Everything else is on its own!

There will be a work-around.

It assumes all future cars will be EVs. I'm not in agreement. |

If the government can do it, hackers can do it.
I am sure the government would not want hackers to shut down government vehicles Therefore, there must be away to disable the ability. If there is a way around it, it will be made available to the public one way or another (except in California ) |

Again, what method of propulsion has nothing to do with the topic of this post. Gasoline powered cars have an electric system and that system can be shut down remotely as well if they have connectivity. This is a general problem. Right now, car manufacturers won't usually shut down a car without a court order. We can't allow government or any government agencies to get access to shutting down cars without following due process.

Just like you can trick an O2 sensor, or an electronic transmission to alter shift points, or a speedometer to read differently. |

My Audi "communicates". It does not require that communication to function. My 2015 truck "communicates" with GM through OnStar. It doesn't have to in order to function. In the case of the truck, many people have simply unplugged the antenna wire. Boom, no more "remote connection". I could remove any remote connection to any of my vehicles in about 10 minutes with no downside whatsoever. Will a Tesla function without being connected to Elon? |
