> The incentive structure at a dealer service department is the exact opposite of favorable to the customer. As is at the doctors. A doctor should be paid for not seeing you.
Hah, never really thought of it that way. That doesn't seem quite right though, do you mean a doctor should be paid for you not needing to be seen ?

Electric cars are notoriously unreliable because there are just that many things that can go wrong. For example, a battery pack on average will monitor about 400 temperatures and perhaps 200 voltages. Its inherent design means that it undergoes many thermal cycles, has thousands of fasteners and up to a hundred switching circuity components inside various isolated power supplies. The deviation of any parameter from n…
You don't actually have to measure individual cell temperatures and voltages. A thousand fasteners is nothing special, and you don't need to have circuitry on each cell either. You're making batteries out to be much more complex than they actually are.
