You know how classic cars are still great as long as they've been maintained well?

You know how classic cars are still great as long as they've been maintained well?

Soon all cars will be full of electronics, so they will have the terrible life span and accelerated loss of value as a modern smartphone.

The future is bleek.

well, as manufacturing gets more complex, so does your toolbox.
electronics themselves actually tend to last a while, what gives out is specific components on boards or certain bad soldering, both of which are easy to fix IF you can identify the problem.

If fixing it is not your hobby maintaining a classic car will be expensive anyway assuming you're driving it.
It's not all profits.

This. Not to mention most of it can be overridden with standalone ECUs, etc.

The only reason classic cars "gain" value now is because boomers are willing to pay outrageous sums for them since they thrashed all the cheap used ones decades ago while growing up

Similarly, an unrusted EK Si Coupe will probably show up at barret jackson for $90k in 30 years

this might be the way to go in the future but everybody has heavily proprietary code running things so reverse engineering will be...difficult..

by the time replacing busted chips or bad capacitors stops working though, we might be into an era where extremely heavy computation can essentially reverse engineer said code, or printing components.

it will be impossible really

All the Veeky Forumstists will be riding around in grandfather clause carbureted boomermobiles.
