Lee: You have taken words right out of my mouth :-) Thank you. Now I can put in my $0.02 A few days ago someone was complaining about the computerisation of cars, with control more & more in the hands of the manufacturers/cops/hackers.
I wondered then, why has not some one written generic code to control the factory installed "cpu"s. After all Linux programmers have re-written drivers for a lot of proprietary hardware. If we have that open source, we could use more modern ICEs to convert instead of looking for pre'70s donors. regards harsha godavari ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee Hart via EV <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, 05 Oct 2014 11:12:54 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Re: [EVDL] EValert: !Don't buy a salvaged Tesla EV to repair &drive!

It could happen! :-) At some point, consumers will have to stand up and say, "Enough is enough!" Learn to fix your own car (at least for the simpler things). Lobby for laws to protect YOUR rights. Hopefully, even contribute to open source efforts to "unlock" some of the automaker's little profit engines. -- Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. -- Henry Ford -- Lee Hart's EV projects are at http://www.sunrise-ev.com/LeesEVs.htm _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
