Electric/Electronic is not better than ICE.
Most of the problems in my modern car come from failures in the electrical / electronic subsystems.
Meanwhile my grandpas no bs 1980's Honda Accord is still going with just some lube and gasoline.
When you make a motherboard that works properly for more than 5 years, let us know.
- majewsky 9y ago1. Electric != electronic. Electrical engines have been a staple of engineering for about 200 years, about as long as ICE. Integrated circuits, on the other hand, have only been around for some 60 years, and while those are pretty reliable on the hardware side, we're still figuring out how to manage the complexity that they enable, and how to make software that's not shitty. 2. One anecdote does not a rule make. 3. "When you make a motherboard that works properly for more than 5 years, let us know." Maybe you should stop buying bottom-shelf. I've seen 10-year-old Thinkpads work like they did on the first day. And my current Asus notebook is already 6 years old and shows no sign of old age at all. Even the battery still holds over 80% charge.
- dennyis 9y agoYou’re both right. Industrial electric motors run 24/7/365 for decades in all sorts of harsh conditions. The motors should not be an issue. On the flip side these cars are filled with electronics. Just look at the dash... I don’t trust those to last more than the warranty period. However, I feel the same about most modern cars, especially luxury cars.
