[–] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (4 children) Yeah I'll just sprout wings and fly everywhere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago* (3 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Allowance_Rebate_System 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago a NEW car ftfy then permalink fedilink source parent
