If it was a carburetor (which EVs do not have), I'd be okay with a DRM. But boards? Is there an organized crime group that steals EV boards? Next time it will be funking wipers with DRM.

They DRM it all if we let them. We must not. It should going the other way. More open, repairable and upgradable.

How would carburetor DRM make any sense? Those are super common to take apart and rebuild or replace (like step 1 of every old restoration).
