What does warranty have to do with the lifetime of a car, or anything?

Most items have 1-2 year warranties, but we expect most of them to last much much more than that.

It's simply a good indicator for how long the manufacturer is willing to commit to fixing their own mistakes for free - the point is that Tesla matches or exceeds the duration of their hardware guarantee relative to other automakers. Actual repairability is, of course, a different metric.
