This should be illegal on products this large. We shouldn't be throwing out entire cars. Imagine if your spark plugs had DRM
FTFY
Yes
Careful, don't give automakers more ideas!
They'd DRM gas if they could. And Tesla already did DRM fast electrons
I think we've got a company man downvoting us
Imagine if your engine had drm and refused to run without the original spark plugs unless the OEM installed new ones
Hell
A few month ago i saw a video where a guy dented his rivian on the rear left. A classic dent for a utility car, especially when you use trailers. The body shop they went to suggested it's a 40k repair job because how the car was build. This shit is absolutely fucked
That seems ridiculous even with the design though.
I saw that too. That made me die a little inside.
