    Yes because disposable phones and cars are the same category of product, with the exact same expectations of maintenance and longevity in their manufacture. 🙄

    This is why I would never buy a car from a “tech” or even a wannabe tech company like Tesla. They want to graft the lowered expectations that you have for consumer grade electronics and free to pay software onto the auto sector where they’ll get lots of people killed or ruin their lives.

    I definitely don’t want my car to be more like my junky ass phones, smart TVs, or bug laden “as a service” software. I cannot have to restart my car daily while I’m using it. The same standards just do not apply to cars and I’ll never buy a car from a manufacturer who thinks they should.
