I just want an electric car that can do exactly this.
Modular components on an option of 3 frames. Reparable to a degree. Bare bones functionality. Physical buttons, no screens. Open source software. Upgrade not the whole car, but components as you go. Literally what video games taught us.
If I had Mark Cuban money, it's the first thing I would do.
I think EV battery cells should be standardized and modular to reduce difficulty of replacement and make replacements cheaper and more available so that it could extend the useful lifespan of the car. If you could replace your battery with an off the shelf equivalent used EVs would hold a lot more value.
That's batteries of the past. The rate of change in batteries has been so dramatic it has left people's understanding behind.
Batteries will far outlive when a ICE car would have been scrapped.
I see 80s 90s era cars and trucks running around my town all day every day.
Try again.
Averages are much better than edge cases in this sort of comparison.
20 years vs 14

You're right, nothing compares to one man's anecdotal evidence.
My right? Indeed.
