Tell us Gagol: Why would ANY carmaker use LQMT?

LQMT is supposedly ultra hard, super durable, corrosion resistant, etc. etc.etc.

But what carmaker builds cars that last forever? None. Cars are designed to last about as long as you are able to finance one; 5 years or 100,000 miles. That's it.

You as a car buyer might say "Wouldn't it be nice if I could buy a whole car made of LQMT? It would never rust, get scratched, and I could leave it for my children in my will". I'm a person who would say "Why can't they just use LQMT parts in starters or alternators; or for God's sake just the wheel bearings"

The reality is that ANY car maker has absolutely no interest in making a car that is eternal but rather have incentive to make ones that last only until the financing runs out. Then you walk into the dealership and buy another one. Even Mr. Tesla will have built in obsolescence.
