You mean restyling? It's a feature of classic automakers that I actually don't like. It seems aimed at forcing consumers to get a new vehicle by making the old one seem deprecated. It's mimicking the fashion industry, where fashion shouldn't matter.

If you mean vehicle development, Tesla does that, continuously. A 2022 model 3 is a different car from a 2018 model 3, as much as a 2024 highland is. You don't need to touch the exterior to improve the car.

Yeah but someone who got a Model S in 2018 and upgraded to a Model S in 2022, is probably not going to buy the same looking car in 2025

why would anyone need a new car every three years? I understand people want new stuff, but that's insanity.

Don't shame the people paying the deprecation on the cars I eventually buy for a far better price.

Lease elapsed - might as well?

[averageRoyalty]

How strange. So you didn't ever buy the car? You never owned it, but paid for - I assume - a percentage of its sticker price over 3 years? Then do you get a credit for a new one?

Step back a bit and ask yourself: Why not? If it's a great car, and if it has been technologically updated, should you really care that much about a new front grill design?

We consider cars more fashionable than shoes.

If it doesn’t look new and doesn’t do much new, is it a new car?
