On the other hand, I'd assume if the old car is functional, they'd sell it to someone who would then "drive it to the ground" (or sells it to another). It's environmentally friendly as long as the car is used by someone

Yeah. It's not like the car just disappears if you get another one. I need EVs to enter the used car market so i can actually afford them.

But if you buy a newer car you contribute to increasing the demand for new vehicles (indirectly).
