As a counter, do you want to buy a brand new Tesla made with "100% recycled parts from former cars!"?



I'd buy a refurb at a refurb price. My car is 10 years old and still running great so I can't imagine a refurbished newer vehicle running any worse.


There are no refurb skyscrapers. Noone wants a transmission with 185,000 miles on it in a "new" car, just like a developer doesn't want a concrete form that supported 40 floors above it for 20 years in his "new" construction.


But I meant blocks that were mostly under simple compressive load, not slabs. Would they still age bad ?
