The spyware you are mentioning is in gas cars too. It isn’t exclusive to EVs it is a problem with all new cars.

If you buy a PHEV be prepared for the cost of a gas car and an EV combined

I’ve found the range is better than what they claim for stop and go city driving due to regen braking. But otherwise the range estimate is about as accurate as the miles per gallon estimate on a gas car.

It is definitely way cheaper to own than a gas car.

During the pandemic they had to choose between go remote or close up shop. They didn’t have much choice.

Seems that once Covid stabilized they’ve been trying to force everyone back.

That’s nice but it doesn’t change the facts:

The software that you are stating “gets bloated” is in all vehicles, not just EVs.

Combistion vehicles have more inputs and outputs to incorporate in the bloated software than EVs.

Right, the centralized control systems that get bloated with software are not unique to EVs. Like I said. And those centralized control systems have more inputs and outputs to interact with on an ICE than on an EV because an ICE has more components.

I’m not a hobbyist. I was a master automotive mechanic for over 20 years and I am now a software developer. I feel the need to say this because you are restating the same points I already address in a more verbose way as if you are hoping to make it sound too complicated for the average person to refute.

Right but both EVs and ICE vehicles have infotainment systems. ICE vehicles have more components that require software in addition to that.

ICE vehicles have more software because they have more components. They have a transmission control module and an engine control module both of which have a lot of sensors to read and outputs to control. Much more than a simple EV would have.

Being young

Have you verified the specs on OPs headphones?

Maybe I missed it but I don’t see where OP said this happened while connected to a phone.

High resistance in a wire inside the sheath would generate more heat at that point, causing the plastic sheath to melt/bubble. So if the wire inside the sheath got damaged, pinched or some of the strands of wire were broken.

Yes, it is relevant because it gives context to how this happened. It is not the family’s fault and I don’t know why you are trying to imply that.

Other comments in this post seem to think the family was deported because Sweden doesn’t like immigrants.

Isn’t Sweden deporting Iraqis because Iraq severed relations with Sweden for allowing their citizens the freedom to burn the Quran?
