I think your second point is the point of the article, as much hate as electric cars are getting from some hick mechanics - they have a shit load less moving parts and so will generally be more reliable

The problem--aside from the god-awful build quality of Tesla in particular--has usually been software. Too much shit being done by a single central system. Yes, they should be much simpler. But instead they've been made much more complex.
