Well if they have value literally nobody is going to treat them as "disposable," which is the exact word you used and you were wrong. Cars are not disposable and there isn't a person on the planet who treats them as such after only 10 years.

It's also absolutely irrelevant whether I've worked on cars or not (FWIW I have). That's just more made-up nonsense that has nothing to do with anything. Most people don't work on their own cars and even if they do there are still going to be a ton of DIY stuff people will tackle with an EV.

Well, if it's the case EVs are good for the planet and if it's better if more people are driving them than ICEs, then, yes, wealthier people will likely upgrade, but then they'll sell their old EV to somebody who prefers buying used and/or can't afford to buy new. It won't be "disposed" haha.

Just like people have done with cars for the last 100 years. There's nothing I've seen, read or heard that would suggest any different.

There's a group of people who always want the latest and greatest anything. Look at a C7 Corvette versus a C8. There's a big difference between the two and sure a lot of people will like the C7 more, but of course there are going to be people who want the new mid-engine Corvette with the latest tech. Same with the new ___insert any model of any make here___. So yeah, people will trade up as the tech changes. Uh-huh. That's obvious and nothing new whatsoever lol.

More nonsense backed by nothing other than your worthless hunch. Twelve years is nothing. If there is a market to fix EVs there will be an industry to fix them. You're not going to see piles of EVs a dozen years old in piles in a scrapyard while there are a bunch of '97 Corollas rolling around. That's ridiculous.
