I'm waiting for a box of op-amps to be made available to replace the 
motor control and body control system in the Teslas, or at least an
open-source microcontroller board.

You can already get a similar thing for gasoline engines, in the form
of the megasquirt engine controller.  Will retrofit into most cars 
with fuel injection.  All parameters can be set in the source code, which
builds on your laptop and then downloads into the megasquirt box.

Don't put up with crap!  Control machines, don't let them control you!
