> Most people don't want to fix their own cars (or laptops for that matter!) so it's difficult to get market forces to work towards it. I think that's the big problem, it's not a major consideration for most people. I would imagine that there would be some motivation in terms of a more easily repairable car also being cheaper to have someone else repair even if you don't want to do it yourself, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference in reality. Like I have zero interest in fixing my own car beyond simple stuff, but if a more open car saved me a lot of money at the mechanic, I could see the benefit.
