If you read my comment you'll note that I acknowledge that building cars is complicated. I don't think the electric powertrain is complicated (at least, not compared to the explosion-propelled mechanical marvels of legacy ICE - maybe that's because I'm an EE and have a much harder time imagining how a modern ICE works as reliably as it does :D)




I'm aware, I read it. You made the counter-claim "EVs are not complicated." and attempted to justify it by switching the context.

And just like you, I mirrored your comments format with my own when I led with a counterpoint, and then immediately followed it up with the concession that in the context you're describing, they don't have to be.

Lube is magic.
