Cars still need to do maintenance. But problem is manufacturer keep increasing maintenance duration. They cite better technology allows that. But problem is they keep using degradable materials that does not allow longer lifespan. Planned obsolescence is replacing metal with plastics. So the design that could last at least 20 years with metal has dropped to 7 years or less with plastics. (The warranty period at max is a dead give away). And they market this as lifetime warranty. That only means the life of the version not the life of the materials. Most kena tipu with this.
