EVs are going to be even worse if that's the case. That $1200 bill from the mechanic is now going to be 10k for batteries or 5k for a drive motor....or even worse. People really are going to start throwing these away when faced with those types of costs.
Or companies will continue to design easier to repair systems and the price will continue to drop.
Are you really assuming we are done innovating in the EV industry?
Companies are fighting right to repair and continue to create stuff that doesn't last as long...the fuck you mean companies will make it easier to repair lol
