One thing that can change the dynamic is if new cars become so cheap we treat them like disposable appliances.
That's already true, really. Most autos are woefully undermaintained. They're not generally designed to be affordable to fix.
But would disposable cars be a good development for the environment?
No, there are portions of the vehicle which aren't recycled, most of what's not recyled is plastic, the faster you churn the more waste there is. And recycling isn't free either.
