Nobody is getting their ICE engine replaced unless they tuned it and blew it up or never changed their oil.

Just anecdotal but: I bought a new European suv in 2017 drove 68,000 miles, very very gently. Turbo blew and sent debris into the engine, engine lost compression, needs full replacement, dealer quoted $35,000 job. Car was 6 years old, just out of warranty, was 60k new.

Now I drive an EV.
