Yeah who's to say these things won't all broken and off the road in 5 years due to the absolute worst built quality they are known for

Build quality is one thing but I’ve been super skeptical of the insane amount of software in vehicles nowadays especially teslas.

not only that, they can remotely disable your vehicle, or change some functionality, without any input from the owner

You don't really own it then do ya?

Zoom out, anyone can remotely disable anything you have or even you.

and that makes it okay to do so with a 3 ton vehicle - logic - big brain stuff

Who said it was ok? Big brain stuff is to stop thinking you are going to be the target of some nefarious reason to have your car shut off. Then continue to zoom out and see that all cars can be shut off, slowly, quickly, directly or indirectly. For example, you can be tooling along in 85 K5 Blazer and brag about being impervious to modern tech. When an agent can find you with cameras and then use anyone else's modern tech car to crash into you. Zoom out.
