You will have hardware choices for upgrades and anyone that can recalibrate an ICE will learn to do it for EVs.
How do you guys think Tesla continues to add performance and range? Over the air programming to existing cars. It's just software so you too will have those choices. And just like adding hp in an ICE with a "tune" that trades off durability for HP you will have those choices with an EV.
Hardware? Once the volumes are there, you will be able to upgrade on every level from components to modules.
It will be exactly the same, just the parts you are changing, upgrading are different. But i expect you will be able to have choices to upgrade performance and range.
From a performance car standpoint, it's simply NVH and charging time. Those are the last frontiers and the noise can be faked as it is in many cars today.
