Or simply testimony of how little milage it has covered in that time! (or more likely a total load of bullshit)
I'd love to know why wheel bearings, instruments, seats and a hundred other switches, controls and body parts should last forever just because a vehicle is electric powered? And we all know electric motors always last forever don't we, not to mention it's necessary control circuits :-)
HOWEVER, in a similar manner the original ICV is still in working order too, as well as many early CV's (Steam trains, Stevenson's Rockets, Stanley Steamers etc.) and they're even older! Maybe we should be burning our coal in steam vehicles again rather than in electric power stations?.... or maybe not :-)
