Electric vehicles are, generally, mechanically simpler than gas-burning cars. But maintaining them can be annoyingly challenging due to coding.

    The dumb part is that’s it’s probably due to a change they introduces to the software in the most recent patch. Kinda like how some brands lock the performance boosts behind a ‘special option’.

    After reading the article this isn’t too surprising. I am not a professional mechanic but i do some advance mechanic work on my cars and you need a programmer to do so many things any more. On BMW’s for over a decade you need to use a programmer to let the computer know when you replace the 12v battery, so this is not a surprise at all. I will say after owning several EVs, you will never replace your brake pads. Even after 150000 miles the message pads show no wear on my daily commuter car

    This is typical on most cars made in the past 10 years or so that’s have automatic electric parking brakes. The car is so new that there’s no aftermarket solution yet.
