Comment on Fully Charged in Just 6 Minutes – Groundbreaking Technique Could Revolutionize EV Charging
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year agoAt some point, like with every car, it gets cheaper to replace it than keep fixing it. Also, there is no way car companies are going to make a car that lasts 30 years.

a lot of reliable car brands like Mercedes did it, but they knew their cars were too good and lobbied for legislation that oblige people to replace their cars each 8 years. then come the emission laws. why would i pay 40k$ for a 75kwh battery car ? at least make it 150kwh for the same price. i also dont need digital screens everwhere.

No they didn’t. There are no Mercedes brands that last for 30 years, except for individuals who take very special care of them. That’s absolute nonsense. And why should they make it 150kwh for the same price if people are willing to pay more? I don’t think you understand how capitalism works. And, like it or not, this world is mostly capitalist.

so u like to pay more for a thing that isn’t worth its price 🤡 ? idk about u but either way i dont like to be cucked by overpaying for stuff that aren’t worth the exact amount + a reasonable amount of profit. i didnt bring up capitalism but u did, and yea i hate it

It doesn’t matter what I’d like. The world doesn’t revolve around what I like or what you like. So if you want a car, it won’t last 30 years and you’ll be paying premiums for features you want. That’s just how the world works. I’m sorry you want it to work differently, but there’s no incentive for car companies to change what works for them.
