but then there is no much selling point already.
they cant upgrade engine every 2-3 years. changing to better interior material doesnt necessary mean it will remain good in the long run.

It's a choice between selling no car vs selling more mechanical chars.

Most companies can't afford having their factories waste away over a supply issue. Runtime is an extremely important metric to fully utilize the production line that you have.

It's more than just a thought...more buyers are fedup with too much electronics, and some manufacturers have noticed.

dunno if this less-electronics shift will gain momentum.

Good, fuck having touchscreen in cars.

A friend of a friend suffered total loss from having her honda jazz flooded and the cost to repair all the electronics
was quoted near equivalent to the value of the car itself (workmanship to dismantle everything and put it back together).

They can’t, it’s mandated by EU regulations to have ADAS.

Obviously don't jump straight away to safety/compliance, I'm talking about accessories, infotainment systems, etc.
