As an example, what's the average useful life for a mobile phone these days? And what about a phone from 20 years ago? 40 years ago (not withstanding the difference in capabilities). IMHO, it's consumerism that is driving this process.

AH Bingo, a similar question or more so me not appecting the reported QC issues of the modern day Mustang.
Agreed Boss, its 2023, ok maybe the product doesn't last as it once did back in the day BUT at least bring it out to market spot on to spec, no mis alignments etcetc yet one bloke quoted thats the Norm of a Pony forever and a day, correcting error. I answer if I'm paying sub $100k my pride and joy should be damn spot on ?! if the cheap cars under $50k can why can't my $90K for eg Mustang.

So.....show me the money....I'm thinking it's more likely...."we can charge more because demand is high and we don't build enough and it's also early days for early adopters"....yes I'm cynical....then if they used Aussie engineers, they would save more again... |
