Oh, just as much can go wrong with the Apple car. You just don't have the tools to fix it when it does.

And they will lobby to ensure only their dealerships can fix your car

You can't even get past that engine cover to do any work on it.

The image kind of shows that statement. The car is just a ~~black~~ white box with a power button, no clue how it works, just that it's working for now

All of the parts will be glued together and all of the screws would be the oddly shaped, non-standard pentalobed TS1 screws.

So a heat gun and a screwdriver?

Police are already being sent to your address we got through backdoors and they will make you compensate 20% of Apple's annual revenue (not profits). You are lucky you only mentioned unauthorized tools that can bring down Apple's hard-earned profits. This compensation can go up to 85% in the case where mentioned tools are also found in your vicinity.
