vehicles from 2019 being referred to as "legacy" is the most infuriating thing I've read today.
Of course no offense to OP, i've heard it referred as such by others and I know it's not literal. But it's maddening to me though that a vehicle that is still under warranty has a moniker that traditionally means end of life/support in software.
- ec109685 4y agoWith most other cars, it becomes legacy as soon as you drive it off the lot and they release the next model year At least Tesla mostly keeps updating their older car’s software.
- Reubachi 4y ago(bit late on the reply, sorry)Caveat; I think EV are far superior to ICE vehicles in every measurable metric. That said, I don't understand what you mean. 9.9/10 of new, non motorsports ICE vehicles are backed by warranty bumper to bumper for 60-100k miles. Further, the parts/labor pipeline is massive.OEM/aftermarket keep producing parts for years after the vehicle's generation stops being sold as new. In the case of Tesla and some Boutique EVs, there is no aftermarket, and there's litigation from Tesla if you try to repair/produce aftermarket parts. "At least tesla mostly keeps updating their older car's software" is not a positive. It should be guaranteed for 60k-100k miles, and the aftermarket should be allowed to repair it. Tesla makes their vehicles "legacy" on purpose.
