   Not to forget mentioning the difficulty to service vehicles is also hostile to independent shops that have been established in communities for decades.

     It's not sustainable, it's planned obsolescence and we all know it. Well, all of us know it anyways.. the normies not so much.

     Aye, they want the daily driver to be as difficult to work on as the rare super car. It's so fucking stupid.
     
     I want an explanation how any component of this model is supposed to be "sustainable." Aside from the notion they don't actually want you to own the vehicles and you're to regard them as disposable.
     Machismo repeated this.

     Yep, they're going to cause those shops to go under and piss off the people who only take their cars to "joe bob's auto repair shop LLC Inc." because they trust them and don't trust the dealership once their car is out of warranty or for that matter even while it is in warranty.
     
     The second my car went out of warranty I'd start fixing it myself of taking it to a trustworthy independent shop unless it was some kind of rare supercar or something.
