How Not to Go Off the Grid

I worry when this is an issue for all cars.

I think I'm going to buy an old series Land Rover and electric convert it myself if that happens.

This is only an issue for a few kinds of rental vehicles, and I doubt that will be the case for much longer. Teslas work just fine when out of cell range, as they unlock using your phone's bluetooth or an NFC card. If the car is in cell range, you can lock/unlock it remotely using an app on your phone.

I get the impression parent comment is less concerned about pragmatism and more focused on “freedom of choice”. An EV converted Land Rover would be awesome
