Imagine your car does this too: "Beep Bop. Too slow. Car needs a new engine and tire."

Not really even accurate though. It's more like "buy a new car".

It would be really nice if upgrading the engine was something the average person could just do. That's feasible on EVs, but I'm guessing manufacturers and regulators block it.

Can I take a Tesla Model 3 or Chevy Bolt and throw on a second motor? Can I add some additional battery capacity in the back?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

In theory, yes, of course. It won't bolt right in, obviously.

It's already happening, not this aggressive. My kia vehicle for example, it will display a prompt screen on the dashboard. Telling me about how I have X days of service left. It is telling me, indirectly, that I need to change my oil or do something when I looked up what it was.

That's a pretty bog-standard feature though... My 2008 Toyota has a maintenance reminder light that pops on every 5000 miles.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

It's supposed to do that though, just like any other vehicle notification. That's why they install all of those light indicators. Check Engine. Low Fuel. All of those things.

Not a screen that pops up telling you specifically that you have some days left to service your vehicle. Especially in all places, where you start up your vehicle, where your MPH is measured .etc

That would be like windows setting up a notification to dust your pc.
