I looked into electric cars back at school and it always amazes me that they aren't more repairable, considering how simple they are compared to gas cars.
No timing chain, no gaskets, few fluid systems, basically one big moving part plus accessories and a little computer.
Shoot, I should be able to change the motor out in a couple hours with some friends and furniture straps.

Seems unnecessarily complicated...
Definitely possible. On "Rich Rebuilds" channel they've put electric motors into mini-cooper and other vehicles.
The issue is that current mechanics aren't trained to work with complex electrical systems, and the shops don't have the tools for the jobs.
So mechanics and garages need to be retooled.
I thought theyre super simple and reliable?
Ugh, what? Why would a car filled with sensors and AI be simple?
