The good news is: It's free
The bad news is: You have to compile it yourself
Those headlights look so easy to replace.
I just want a simple car. One without extraneous functions.
My old boss bought a brand new car that was in the shop for two of it's first four weeks. The issue? The capacitive touch sensor that operated the motorised glove box door was activating automatically because it was being confused by dust.
My shitty 15 year old VW's plastic glove box door has a metal latch and had never experienced this bug.
There certainly are places where technology and electronics can improve a car, but replacing one of the most basic, reliable mechanical functions such as a latch is arguably stupid. It's just adding numerous more failure points. It's form over function.
I don't know man. Looks like something I'd buy.
There actually exists an open source community for reverse-engineering EV motors, inverters, battery charging modules, BMS, and everything else necessary to build a DIY car from scrapyard components: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Main_Page
Freedom comes with a price.

“i upgraded the engine and one of the wheels stopped working”
Why are you using wheels anyway? Caterpillar tracks are a more modern solution and superior in every way.
I wonder what's the fastest you could go on tracks? Apparently a record was set in 1979 (121.9 km/h, 75 mph) and never broken since as far as i can tell, or at least Guiness doesn't seem to know anything about it.
Fellas, we need a tank, a couple V8 engines, and a case of beer

Stallman
What you are referring to is, in fact, Richard Stallman
I think Stallman would rather do GNU/Ebike and GNU/PublicTransit
GNU/Amsterdam
