This article highlights a Tesla problem, not an EV problem.
The issue when you build a car around software is the software gets outdated and the the car is garbage.
Open sources EVs can be kept on the road just as easily as gas vehicles, as long as the gates are open to access the software.
Tesla has created their own issue, which will destroy them.

Other EV’s have this problem too, so it isn’t just a Tesla problem.
I think the main issue is what happens when software support ends. There are tons of industrial and medical equipment with outdated software that work well today, mainly because there is an air gap between their computers and the Internet. That air gap may need to be enforced onto cars as default in the future.
