Here I was imagining actual explosives hampering repo efforts, when they merely speak of a rising rate of auto repos. OK. I fell for it.

My first read was that there were more open source repositories on Github for each new type of car, and I was like, "actually that sounds awesome"
I thought it was a story about EVs bursting into flames after being repossessed. Pretty confusing headline without context.
Ya, I think the use of exploding here is in a confusing form. Most people will get the meaning, but a lot of people will think of other meaning at least for a moment.
