EVs have fewer moving parts than gas-powered vehicles, with no engines, transmissions or exhaust systems.
That didn't stop the light bulb industry from baking in planned obsolescence.

Counterpoint to lightbulb planned obsolescence: https://youtu.be/zb7Bs98KmnY?si=h-i2U3Q8YE5tHW7G
This is the response I wanted to see but since people seem to hate watching videos (from creators they don't know), iirc the tldw; balancing bulbs coming to full power immediately (as opposed to gradual warm up) and brightness with life span. The 100 year light bulb is cool, but not ideal for actually lighting a room

Battery cell manufacturing will be increasingly automated as volumes increase. So this idea didn't hold water.
What do you mean? They're arguing that EVs require less labour-hours of human work, you're agreeing with them by saying that battery manufacture will be more automated.
