It\'s only for remotely starting the engine. Well, we have no engine to start with an EV.

It\'s easy to see the narrator\'s point.
I wonder if the potential customer could tell the dealer \"throw this in for a life time or see ya later, bye\".

I think the answer is no because the issue is with Toyota and the dealer has no option to override them.

This reminds me of the organization promoting right to repair. This is mostly about some egregious manufacturers such as John Deere, yes, John Deere who was refusing to allow repairs to be made to equipment owned by the farmer unless those repairs were made by the authorized service center. Seems they were refusing to allow users to repair a board because of a copyright issue with ROMed software on the board. I don\'t recall the details, but I\'m sure a web search will find it. They also went after Apple and their onerous repair requirements and have achieved some success.

I tossed them a few bucks a while back. I thought it was good to help them get started. We\'ll see if they continue to gain momentum.

I\'d like to see something similar about this sort of issue. The fact that Toyota has announced their policy should rile up people enough to make a real issue for them. It is a bit like unions. Take on one manufacturer and win to get the rest to fall in line.

It\'s a bit funny to think that this is similar to military radios in that the security is handled in a part of the radio that is very, very hard to bypass or trick. I\'m sure they have considered all the same issues when designing their authorization service for your key fob. Military grade key fobs!

Does an electric CAR engine need warming up?

That\'s a misrepresentation. Customers are not \"disallowed\". Warranty
service can be refused if the product has been worked on by a third-party.
Nothing wrong with that. Taking responsibility is part of a warrantee.

Seems pretty simple... If a third-party works on it, the company is no
longer responsible for how it works.

In extreme cold weather, it might help with warming up the battery. But i have no idea how solid state (frozen) battery would work, or not work.

I know better than to try to discuss this with you, so I\'ll leave it up to you to research the issue or you can continue shooting off your mouth without any understanding of the real issues.

What???

Massachusetts law? Providing information about a car\'s system?

My contention is with \"John Deere who was refusing to allow repairs to be

I guess the manufacturer could hide technical information. But usually the
mechanic knows that stuff. One would certainly hope the mechanic knows what
it\'s doing.
 
That document is dated \"27 August 2012\".

That\'s not \"decades\".

No keywords were provided, so I didn\'t bother searching it.

The issues that repair.org brings up can take you down quite the rabbit hole. It is amazing how widely used the DCMA is for things that have little or nothing to do with copyright. It is a law that is out of control.

That\'s interesting.

Not providing technical information about products might be illegal if the
company holds monopoly power so buyers have no product choice. If all
companies disallow private maintenance (by somehow disabling the tractors,
failing to provide necessary guidance/steering, or whatever), then the
required service cost is probably just part of doing business.

In a free country, if a company sees benefit to consumers by allowing
third-party maintenance, then that will happen.

Third-party software maintenance? That\'s called \"hacking\" isn\'t it?

GPS control does not require communication with a company website. AFAIK,
no location routine requires anything except GPS and ISP provided
information. Requiring such communication would be my pet peeve. If they
do, they probably gather all sorts of information.

I would be totally annoyed if they required a connection to their company
servers just to run my tractors. But again, illegality probably depends on
whether there is product choice.

A farmer should know that ahead of time. If it were a software thing,
surely it could be hacked.

John Deere was refusing to allow repairs to be made to equipment owned
by the farmer.

Repairs to what \"equipment\"? How did they do that?
