It is normal for a car with that many miles to need to have some replacement parts. There are users who have reported going over 500,000 km on original battery (20% degradation).

For the million mile mark there is at least one example.

That would be around $19 billion and Apple has around $40 billion on hand. Although I think the culture of Japan would cause more difficulties other than having enough money to afford it.

"Right to repair" laws don't require manufacturers to design their products to be easy to repair. It is about mandating the selling of replacement components to third parties. Just because they sell replacement components doesn't mean the products need to be designed to have their components easily replaced.

Samsung still manages to do both removable batteries and water resistance in their Galaxy XCover line but I suppose thickness, weight, etc. are more important for the average consumer.

Foxconn workers reportedly stole US$43 million worth of iPhone parts to make new phones https://www.scmp.com/abacus/news-bites/article/3042987/foxco...

I'm pretty sure you can sideload without an Apple developer account($99) but you need to reinstall the app every 7 days and you can only have 3 installed at once. The processing on refreshing the install and swapping between more than 3 apps can be automated by using desktop software like AltStore.

A Tesla Model 3, the most efficient EV, uses 240 Wh/mile. You could not drive more than 8.3 miles without exceeding the 2 kWh/h.
