This gets complicated really fast. If you leased a tractor over a 15 year purchase agreement, do you own it? As an "owner", are you bound to service agreements if they are listed in the fine print or can you wrench on it in the barn?

This all boils down to contract law and capitalism.
Neither subject can be considered click-bait-y but it does become important when vehicles become high dollar assets.

Ya I was reading a little bit more about this. It doesn’t have jack squat to do with Biden giving car owners the right to fix their own cars. Makes it sound like we we could never turn a wrench until Sleepy Joe allowed us too.

It has much more to do with as you said contracts, warranty, planned obsolescence, and making things so consumers can fix them and possibly just more intrusive meddling and regulation by the state. Pretty soon we’ll need to hire a lawyer to buy a cup of coffee.
