Why not ban Cursitor Doom? There\'s nothing specific to electric cars that makes them any more prone to have their control systems go haywire than internal combustion-engined cars.
Taking out the ignition key usually seems to work when my ( internal combustion-engined) car decides to turn it\'s cruise control on. One has to wonder why the driver didn\'t try it.
Perhaps Cursitor Doom hasn\'t had to cope with a modern car yet. Mine is about ten years old, so it isn\'t all that modern, but it did come with all kinds of programmed bells and whistles

If it was an ICE, it would have ran him up to 80 MPH minimum. He\'s lucky the EV settled on 15. People can get killed at 15 MPH. That\'s over 20 fps which is quite an impact upon abrupt collision stop.

On many (most?) cars, that would lock the steering.
Mines coming up to 20 years old. The central locking hasn\'t worked for
years and one door won\'t lock at all. The dashboard display sometimes
spontaneously starts using German, and the rear wiper has a mind of its
own. It\'s a Citroen, of course.

\"MG malfunctioned\" is perfectly normal. That\'s not news.
I wish my MGs would have kept going at 15 MPH.
I did once make it from the top of Mt Tamalpias back home to my
apartment in San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge, with no
clutch.

Classic MGs rarely give any trouble provided they\'re maintained
regularly. Perhaps it\'s harder to get the proper spares for them in
the US.

Perhaps not, but when they do go wrong, the results can be
catestrophic because of the huge amount of energy in the battery. It\'s
curious how Teslas have the propensity to burst into flame then lock
all the doors. I suppose that *could* somehow happen with an ICE car,
but I\'ve never heard of such an incident involving one. And the
charging infrastructure just isn\'t there. EV sales as a proportion of
overall car sales are falling now in the UK and Europe because of all
sorts of mounting concerns. I personally would give EVs another 10
years, so all the issues surrounding them can be ironed out. I for one
certainly won\'t be wasting my money on one any time soon and by the
time I am I\'ll probably be to old to safely get behind a wheel anyway.

I could get parts. Lots of them.

As could I. I recall the parts lady at the local British Cars dealer
in Baltimore. She had perfect memory. You could roughly describe
what you needed, and she would pause, then say that that\'s a
<27-character part number>, run off into the back, and come out with
the correct part. Every time.
