@neil I very much wish I was in a tax bracket where I could afford to have someone do an electric conversion of an older vehicle. Though now I wonder if there are services out there that mod your car to cut it off from the mothership and put it more under your control?

@wendyg @neil There's at least one model out there that can only be turned on using a smartphone app. So...yea, I'm betting it spies on the users as well. Fortunately, that's not much of the ebike market.
