Farmers are still fighting for the right to fix their own tractors (thegarage.jalopnik.com)

I feel like this is where the world is heading for a great many things. The "appliancification" (yes I made it up) of things that we could previously open up and tinker with. It's too bad. I want the right to open up and play around with something that I bought.

What's it going to be like when electric cars are the norm? Will the car become an appliance?
