Futurology

My last breakdown was when all the transmission fluid in my car drained out because the mechanic that did my tuneup didn’t replace the drain plug properly. What tools should I carry in my car to do a complete transmission replacement while on the side of the highway?

Realistically, the only roadside repair the average ICE car comes equipped to do is a tire change. In that regard, EVs are on par with ICE vehicles as far as "roadside repairability" goes.

When was the last time you fixed your turbos roadside?

Why would you need to carry the tools when they breakdown half as often?

If you look at the statistics other than lightning which is skewed because it includes bulb failures, the top failures aren't really stuff you want to be doing on the side of the road.

lol. I’m sure you carry a spare ECU in the trunk, right? Along with all the tools to replace it.

Do you carry a fab in your vehicle to reproduce failed electronic parts? How exactly do you fix a broken control arm with tools?
