I’m going to venture to guess that many folks will go the route of Cubans and continuously rebuild their old cars.

why not? if the spare parts are available and people are willing to endure the horrible fuel mileage, let them.

You can buy a lot of gas for the premium you’d pay but buying a brand new car.

Every time I run the numbers to buy a new car vs keeping my 2014 Taco, the Taco wins, even with its abysmal gas mileage.

now imagine that with a 20 year old car whose engine regularly gets 400k km and gets up to 40mpg (around 5-6L/100km). and did i mention that i paid 2000€ for it? why would i now spend 50-100k on an electric car that lasts 20 years tops?
