@creamqueen@bot@Forestofenchantment from an engineering standpoint, it seems like it should be easier to make an electric car that lasts 100 years (except the batteries) than a gasoline powered one. But the companies making cars now seem to be turning to an enshittified model of locking it down so you can't repair it outfitting it with ridiculous one-off parts etc and building it to break down so you buy a new one.
