If it phones home, and the homeworld can track my car at all times, hard nope.

If the homeworld can arbitrarily turn features on and off including BS like controlling how many miles I can travel on a charge, hard nope.

If I can only have it repaired by the manufacturer, hard nope.

If its electronics want to believe they can drive better than I can, hard nope.

Not to mention that battery production and disposal is going to be the next toxic nightmare.

Nope, nope, nope.
