@sheddi @pluralistic @frameworkcomputer @iFixit Meanwhile, if a larger #hackerspace can recruit enough mechanics and electricians (and a couple engineers, if they're not already members) and partner with a suitably equipped garage, there could be a similar market for replacing computerized automotive electronics. Perhaps this would be best paired with an existing #EV retrofit business.
But the appliance retrofitting would have a much lower capital startup cost. Perhaps automotive electronics retrofits could be a sequel to the appliances, seeded with proceeds from those.
