All very good points. I think it’s partly that many of the people complaining (not here but on other social media) aren’t doing the things I mentioned. So of course their products aren’t lasting.
The main problem with cars is govt regulations. Mandatory cameras and auto breaking, fancy computers to control emissions etc. their main function is to siphon data now instead of getting you from a to b.
Incentivizing quality products sounds good and I would be for it but I imagine most people just want the cheapest price so they can throw it out and buy a new one in a few years.
I guess I’m just lucky because I can’t remember a single appliance or similar that hasn’t lasted for me personally although I hear that new fridges are absolute junk now. Just changed the transmission lol on my 12 year old washing machine and that was a real bitch but now it runs like a dream
