EVs still have a ton of shit that will invariably break and need repairing/replacement at some point. A huge amount stuff I’ve had to fix on my cars had nothing to do with the engine/transmission and are universal on road vehicles: Brakes, rust, wipers, plastic in direct sunlight, digital displays, head lights, dozens of belts and motors that run on tracks, mechanical doors, AC.
Most of which can be repaired with a stop at parts store and a couple of common tools IF the manufacturer hasn’t locked it behind some bullshit security bolt or a lockout chip.
CRTs are easily repairable with like 3 tools in most cases. Many are 30 years old and never been maintained properly still going. Flat screens are Another example of modern tech being shit for longevity and repairability.
Repairing doesn’t even really apply to evs. It’s not like you bust out a wrench to fix your tv.
Doesn’t the door opening mechanisms on Tesla’s famously break all of the time?
It does. Brakes, suspension. Lights wipers window motors etc, all that shit breaks.
And when I need a fucking dealer computer to “unlock” it to fix my brakes or a broken window motor, fuck that shit.

If a TV cost $60k, I’d bust out a wrench to fix it. It’s usually a blown capacitor that costs pennies to fix.
