Yes. And there's a reason that almost every one of them are called FAST food and they have have drive-thrus.
What you somehow can't seem to grasp is the difference between stopping, and stopping for an hour or more. It's not the same thing.

Nobody said that people don't take breaks.
STOP. MAKING. SHIT. UP.
There it is. There's EXACTLY what I was talking about. There's that bullshit fallacy that you keep pushing to try to minimize the negative aspects. You can't help it. Stopping for food or a piss break is NOT the same things as stopping for an hour because you have to go charge your car multiple times on a trip.
I eat just as many "hot meals" as you do on a trip. I'm 100% certain that I actually eat better given that I can stop anywhere I want and am not limited to places with chargers. I can also do it in a fraction of the time. I don't drive "shotgun style". I take plenty of breaks. I stop. I rest when needed.
You somehow being incapable of comprehending the difference between stopping as needed ... and sitting for hours because your car forces you to do so is beyond absurd.

Not sure about frequency of engine failure but it is a statistical FACT that the average car lasts 200k miles.

Statistical fact? You do know what that term means, right?
Your version of a "statistical FACT" is a website for a body shop with no actual statistics that claims "interior detailing is key to the longevity of your vehicle"?
Holy shit.
There is absolutely nothing whatsoever in there that is a "statistical FACT".
Regardless of any of that, what point do you think that makes?

Who in the hell is talking about SCRAPPING the car? You are trying to deflect... as usual... from the very simple truth that shit is going to break, and when it does, it is more expensive.
You keep pushing this no maintenance, infinite reliability narrative. It's absolute bullshit.

I had so many issues with that truck.. Engine and transmission were fine but lots of issues with injectors, fuel system and many other issues. I was wrenching on that thing all the time. Had I paid a mechanic for all the work I did, I would have exceeded the value of the truck many times.

Oh look. Another deflection and another sample size of 1. Shocking.
I've driven a 1999 Yukon to 300k miles with nothing whatsoever that prevented it from driving. My last Yukon is with the new owner and going strong at 260k. My 01 Yukon was at 250k the last I saw it.
I put less maintenance dollars in all 3 of them combined than it would take to replace 1 Tesla motor. What's your point?
Which brings us right back to the topic that you keep trying to deflect from.
Your argument that a fleet of Cyber"trucks" will go hundreds of thousands of miles without needing any maintenance and without breaking is complete f**king bullshit.
