    Well you can engineer a fatigue life with aluminum so if your goal is to prevent a second hand market and promote car as a service it’s one way to go.

    E: I’m aware of the software and other subscription stuff they do.

      As an enthusiast, I would never own a second hand Tesla. They have terrible build quality and you just see too many rollers (major power train or battery issues). 10 year old cars mechanically totaled is the opposite of an eco friendly vehicle.

        Yeah, i was suggesting that may be intended as planned obsolescence on Tesla’s part. Just dipped a bit too deep and made it obvious XD
