    I'm waiting for a box of op-amps to be made available to replace the
    motor control and body control system in the Teslas, or at least an
    open-source microcontroller board.

    You can already get a similar thing for gasoline engines, in the form
    of the megasquirt engine controller. Will retrofit into most cars
    with fuel injection. All parameters can be set in the source code, which builds on your laptop and then downloads into the megasquirt box.

    Don't put up with crap! Control machines, don't let them control you!
