Too mad that we have to hack our car to customize it. We can reinstall computers very easy, choose the OS you like. But cannot do something on our car. Old cars, you can modify everything, grap your tools, and you can do what you want. Modern cars are too closed, you are too depend on the factory what they allow you can do. Also are modern cars too complex with too many gadgets. Please keep it simple, it is a car, not an entertainment device.

I think it's good to separate the drivetrain from the infotainment in these discussions. Hacking the infotainment is a world of difference in a tesla where you have basically software impacting driving a lot; the tesla doesn't deliver all the power, it's too much. There have been people who have gotten service mode access and disabled traction control etc, many wrecks resulted from spinouts.

On the other hand, the infotainment can be rebooted even while driving. The drive train is much more protected and controlled, for a reason.
