Are Teslas really end of life after 8 years? Why such a limited lifespan?

Original owner tends not to own car for 8 years; FSD "disappears" when you sell the car.

Plus, there's accidents, etc, that weed out a fair bit of the fleet before 8 years.

I don’t think that’s typical.

The people who buy $100k cars will usually refresh them on the regular, passing the car down to another buyer.

But also, the older Tesla's do not and cannot have the hardware for FSD so they really are EoL in that respect.
