You're a different market segment. They're not planning on selling cars to people working on their 400,000th kilometer. No carmaker is. They all sell cars to people who buy new cars, preferably every couple of years. If they succeed (and the cars can last as long as a well loved Camry or Hilux) You may be able to acquire a second hand one to your liking in a few years.

Customers care about resale value when they're upgrading their new car; wouldn't manufacturers compete on this?

Correct me if I'm wrong: cars' longevity is increasing. Doesn't this indicate an engineering push toward longevity?
