Bullshit. You can easily get a battery for less than $25,000. The Tesla model 3 is a 50KWh pack and is $14000 to replace and likely costs way less to make.
If you were really skilled you could buy 50KWh worth of cells for less than $10000.
The reason the batteries are more is because you have SUVs and Trucks that need twice the amount of cells for about the same range because they're not aerodynamic
Idk about infinite, if they stop getting updates they will eventually get phased out and if you can't download the application it's also dead. All that aside the sun is going to go super nova eventually.
Also a lot of people don't want to self host. I doubt you self host your own Lemmy instance for instance.
My first complaint with Tesla is the shit tablet for everything. I don't want to have to look at a screen while trying to drive. Elon is a shit but every publicly traded company is going to be owned in some regard by a billionaire fascist.
They can also just refuse to do the job because it hurts the laborers that work for them. They got laborers doing this because they didn't treat them like people. I don't think they should expect to be treated well when they treat others poorly.
Used phones are ethically better than new phones. That's a fact. If you buy used fairphones then that's even better but they make such a bad product you have to buy it on ethics alone. If you're buying on ethics then again, used is better.
You're just spouting peak consumer copium and claiming it's a fact.
I mostly can't get over paying more for worse specs. It doesn't have to feel bad now but with 8 years of support it could very easily not feel good in the future. It's a $760 phone that benchmarks close to the Samsung A54 a $400 phone.
The selling point is the ethical value of the phone but it'll never top how much waste buying a used phone saves.
I don't understand how manufacturing in Korea is better than China. Hell, I'd call that pretty centralized still because it still relies on the same logistical problems.
