It’s one thing to build disposability into a product. I understand that part. But it is another to design a vehicle to be prohibitively expensive and target it only at the elites. This creates a hand-me-down effect where that vehicle then travels through owners from West to East. Is it any wonder then that so many eurosceptic political movements have sprouted up when that one vivid status symbol difference is so visible? How are people in the East supposed to take Western commitments to green energy and equality seriously? (Not to mention the fact that most vehicles then must have all these bizarre unnecessary low durability premium features by design.)
