Yes, but they have an upside: You can actually work on them yourself, without having to fight some automaker's proprietary security stuff. If the motor or controller craps out, you can replace it (or them) with whatever new unit(s) you want. Same with the DC:DC, brake vacuum pump, and so on. Same with the battery. You can upgrade or downgrade any component at will. You can get parts from any source, not just the dealer. You won't have the car rejecting some junkyard or generic part you put in because it isn't "registered" with the body computer, or whatever. There seems to be a large and growing "hacking" (in a good way) community devoted to some production EVs, but even those are still much more locked down and opaque than any conversion.
