Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

I used to have a Prius C, got it used.
95% of shops wouldn't touch it for anything non cosmetic. Hybrid, confusing, scary!
Learned how to work on it myself, before it got stolen.
Guess I just got the beta version of not being able to have your car serviced, due to good old fashioned blue collar laziness and incompetence.
So what I take from this is… don’t buy a new car. Well, since I’ve never owned a car newer than 10 years old, I guess I’m ahead of the game for once. #winning
What car you clickbait bastard?
2024 Ram 3500, but it's an industry push from NASTF so probably more will come soon.
Fuck these guys. If we live in a car society we need to be able to repair cars.
I knew before I even clicked in it would be some shitbox by Chrysler.
depending on where the owner lives/resides they might be able to take this to court now for vendor lock-in/right to repair violations
The companies don’t want you own your car.
