I want to own the car I just paid a lot of money for either way - that means all of the car.

I'd pay more for cars which are modular, like computers.

Cars are built on assembly lines, unlike any modular computer

It's harder to sell a modular product off an assembly line.

You mean more expensive to design, and sell the parts rather than sell as a whole?
