Do you plan to keep it for 20 years? Or even 10?
I'm sure it will last as long as it needs to and be end up being just a footnote in the history of the automobile.
Just about everything nowadays is an appliance and is not worth keeping beyond the warranty period.
Polestar salesman told me electric cars will last longer and be more reliable than a IC car. I told him I still regularly drive a 35 year old Mazda and does he think the Polestar would last that long? He changed the subject
