    If it’s software, you could just reinstall it.

    Exactly, right!

    As a FOSS person you don’t buy a used PC from someone, find it still has an OS installed and just start using it.

    No, you wipe that sucker clean and install your OS fresh.

    An open-source car would be exactly the same.

      I’m pretty sure I do that with EVERY piece of hardware I get. I don’t trust that shenanigans haven’t been done. Hell most times I update the BIOS too if I can.
