You couldn't pay me enough to take one those monstrosities.
If they came with the software tools and keys necessary to rip out all their bullshit and install my own OS then I'd consider takin one for free.
Strip out the batteries and motors, hook them up to some after market controllers, slap them in a classic car, and now we're cooking.
Even removing the software, you'd still have something most of the world considers not fit for the road. You'd have to replace almost all of it and at that point you're just building a new car from scratch.
