In fairness to the OP and your question, over the last 30 years, several brands of cars developed catastrophic engine and transmission problems in the first 100k miles and definitely 200k miles - and there are many irrational buyers that buy (or lease) new cars every 3-5 years or before 100k miles. There are also buyers who are overwhelmed by simple maintenance (oil changes, brake maintenance, window regulator failure) that help get their cars into these states. Luckily, evs require so much less maintenance, even these buyers are likely to be surprised.
