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

that buries the timing chain to the point of an engine out replacement exercise. I too drive an older Mazda but fully realise that newer vehicles are now designed with less margin so probably won’t last anywhere near as long as our older longer lived vehicles… |
