Not to be all conspiracy theories and stuff, but now do you understand why government is pushing these vehicles so badly? With a cell phone signal they can shut off your ability to freely move around the country.

Every new car is like that these days. The only way to avoid it is to drive ole cars. I think the cut off is something like 2010?

Who is “they”? Last time I checked there’s never been a Tesla disabled by LEO. Unlike GM that does it regularly.

No because that isn’t an EV issue. All cars are going this way and have been for the past couple years. Luxury cars the past 5-8 years.

Way to out yourself as not being an OT baller.

As others have mentioned, pretty much all vehicles are this way, the drivetrain is irrelevant.

Why are people so worried about this, anyway? The minute the government shuts off my car I'll be armed and on my fricking bicycle headed to DC, and I'm sure I won't be alone.
