    The cars will be fun to see unfold considering new EV platforms have them integrated straight into the platform the chassis is built upon.

      Not so much new. Has been on the road map for years. More like disgusting.

      There was a choice to be made to make things repairable, or not. The industry chose not.

        They must all have reached nirvana when they realized they could build in planned obsolescence straight into the platform. No more replacing a tiny belt, now they get to sell a brand new car when the battery goes bad!

        I really hope that this regulation from the EU stick and it doesn’t get shut down by Germany as usual when they act as an extension of the auto-industry.
