Concerned about long term depreciation? Lease it, just like everyone else who has the same concern with other cars.
Typically, electrically components are less failure prone than mechanical components since they have fewer failure modes. I've had more manual cranks fall off in my hand than I've had power windows that fail. |
trust me on this one, the more electrical components you have the the more failures you have. They add a lot of complexity to a rather simple system. One microprocessor has tens or hundreds of millions of components, and this one chip is connected to many other auxiliary electrical chips/components, all of which have a much lower tolerance for manufacturing/environmental issues than mechanical components. And then don't forget that they still suffer from the human factor in which a developer can program in a bug that causes an unexpected failure.
