		jlarocco 54 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: EVs are depreciating faster than gas-powered cars I wonder how long it will be before the first EVs get bricked because the manufacturer doesn't want to ship software updates to the old hardware any more. If it can happen to a $1500 phone or a $5k computer, I'm sure it will happen to a $20k car eventually.

I think it’s already happened with some teslas banned from charging stations and being gimped after sale for whatever reason.

Apparently a bunch of jeeps got bricked by a pop software update.
