Imagine a car with a gas tank that shrinks over time, and whose top speed drops accordingly.

Imagine that some cars allow the gas tank to be changed by the user. But this one doesn't.

Imagine the company that makes the car never mentions the shrinkage or the gradual reduction in top speed, and has no program or system that allows you to fix this - beyond buying a newer car.

Car producer must by law provide spare parts for 10 years. It should be per law that the battery is exchangeable.
