Car in the future will be on a “skateboard” platform with the Edrive axles,packs,inverters and cooling all below the floor boards the body will be a bolt over shell similar to a VW bug back in the day and its platform frame. This way you can swap bodies out with ease upgrading to new configurations and the latest cabin tech on a frequent basis. Make the skateboard frame adjustable in wheel base length and width is easy with electrics that don’t have a transmission shaft running front to back. This also allows for a higher price point as much like a time you can finance an asset for 20+ years a $100000 asset over 20 years vs a 20,000 over 5 assuming you don’t have garbage credit ratings. Insurance covers an asset loss just like a homeowner’s policy and would obviously be required during the loan period.

And people think stealing catalytic converters are a problem!
You walk out to your car and only the ‘shell’ is left.
