    Please do if possible.

    Seriously tho, was it so hard to understand that i was pointing out that all big car companies are starting to do this?

    If this is a reason not to buy a BMW then its a reason not to buy any modern car. Which it is imo.

    The problem is a huge number of cars were removed and destroyed which would otherwise have been in the used market. It's a big reason why even used cars are priced so high. Buying used isn't what it used to be.

    And they want to do it again not because it helped anyone get a car but because it let them make the prices so stupidly high.

    I agree that new cars suck but they're removing the stocks of used cars that would be worth buying at any price and at our expense.

    Agree with that yep, its also already been shown years ago that modding used cars into electric cars is totally doable, economic and saves fuckloads of resources. Same thing happening with tractors too btw. Lots of farmers are buying up old tractors because they can actually repair them on site when they break down. With modern ones they have to wait for some asshole from john deer to come in with a debugging laptop to do the exact same thing for lots of money and downtime.

    While this is completely true, it's a bit tone-deaf. Fuck cars, but many people barely have a choice because their public transport consists of a handful of busses that come once an hour and nothing is close by.

    As an aside, I spend a whopping total of about $1/day (edit Australian $, so less USD) on maintenance and electricity for my electric cargo bike. I go about 17 km each way to work and the funny thing is it's only about 10 mins longer than driving, lol
