They had to find a filament that would last a while, but not too long and would eventually burn out. After trial and error they landed on tungsten. And I can't think of a single LED I've had that has ever gone out. Not saying it never happens but I can't think of one.

It's conversations like this that remind me that the light bulb cabal was a very real thing. The Phoebus Cartel.

6 years is the average time people keep new vehicles. Perhaps leasing is averaged into that as well.

Did you make your account on your first day or did you observe for a while?

Sounds like a pot calling the kettle type of a situation to me. I wish you well though.

Of course someone would call telling the truth "shilling" around here. I've seen the mod logs.

Yeah not good. Based on what I've seen there I'm likely to be banned for this conversation.

Ehh. Not the best argument imo. Designed obsolescence has already been at play in the normal automotive industry for decades. OCD gearheads can get more life out of their vehicles but your average oil change and tire rotation suburbanites will likely have catastrophic failure of some kind should they keep and use their vehicles longer than the average 6 years most new cars are kept for nowadays. Not to mention parts designed to fail that we all accept like tires and bulbs.

Have a look at a few pages of the mod logs. The amount of censorship in this community is astounding. I may not agree with what somebody has to say but ill defend their right to say it. Isnt that why this community had to be built in the first place?
