This is tangential to your point, but given the carbon footprint of manufacturing a car, this would almost certainly be counter-productive.
- core-questions 7y agoThat's what I think, too. We could see much better environmental gains long term from a real serious push to make things more repairable so that we don't have people buying new cars as often as now. Obviously, the incentive structure isn't set up to make that make sense for auto manufacturers, of course. Look at a Tesla, it's even less repairable than a normal car!
