I can’t imagine electric cars being a long lifetime car that you can keep for 20+years.

But you know I don’t think most new cars will last as long as older more mechanical cars. Here’s another example. Most new ICE cars don’t use a real mechanical gas pedal anymore. And many don’t use a mechanical steering rack too.

My ND Miata uses both drive by wire pedal and also electronic steering. These things are bound to break. BMWs no longer use mechanical shifters for their automatics and many of their cars now use electronic emergency brakes. I would say my NA Miata will probably me more reliable than my NDx even though my ND is a better overall miata…(My ND Miata has other issues. the manual gearboxes have been snapping easily by people. People think they’ve took the gram strategy too far. I’m about to order a spare transmission from Mazda Motorsports with a racer’s discount and store it away in case I snap one out of warranty. I think I already voided it anyway since I stuck a blower on the engine, lol. $1600 for a new transmission with a racer’s discount. that’s cheap. Funny thing is the Fiat 124 is actually more reliable. Fiat engineers stick with the previous generation NC transmission
