I'm old enough to remember when batteries weren't user serviceable because the dealer had to "code" them.
If an owner wants to get in there, the owner can, and odds are good that (right to repair) will be codified in some states pretty soon
Also, other than the 12v battery, what's under there that anybody is going to need to do anything with on any kind of non-failure basis? Brake fluid every 2 years?
My experience with Model X so far (and family's experience with a 3 and an S) is - just drive it. Sometimes the coachbuilding is a little suspect, but the mechanical bits just work. BMW knows how to coachbuild, so I imagine it will just...work. Imagine owning a BMW without HPFP's, O2 sensors, or wastegates. What's left to break?
