It's not a pathetic argument when car makers are throwing up more roadblocks to People repairing their own vehicles. Nowadays, a lot of parts that have to be replaced won't work with the system until you actually reprogram the body control modules or the ECU for the engine. People can't actually do that, which is the problem. And a lot of the vital components in electric vehicles are more heavily integrated with the electronics. Aside from regular maintenance and stuff like brakes or shocks, and even shocks sometimes are an exception to that, you can't actually do a lot of the work yourself, so it's not ridiculous as long as people don't have access to the electronics tools and the programming tools in order to actually replace bigger components on vehicles.
