It negates the point of a contract. What kind of contract even has a term of length without a set price?
You bring up a valid point. There are many facets of life and a left/right divide, and some of them did shift left.
But compared to the 50s (which is when many right wingers idolize), particularly starting with Reagan, we've seen:
Push for theocracy
The war on drugs
Less "society" and more individualism. This is especially true regarding regulation of harmful activities for profit, such as corporate pollution
Reduced enforcement of those laws that we do have, as long as it's a corporate entity and/or for profit
Massive consolidation of all industries. Competition is now mostly an illusion.
Strong push against workers' rights. Reduction in union protections, minimum wage laws, OSHA powers, etc
Active, planned takeover of media. This was started by (IIRC) Roger Ailes that if the right controlled the media, Nixon would not have been impeached. He went on to found Fox News with that philosophy, and proved it correct with Trump. See also: Sinclair
While this mostly happened at a state/local level, it has been nationwide. Government was intentionally ruined as an effective organization, and now provides way fewer/worse services
These are just a few ways that the country has shifted right, but they are so impactful to the average person's daily life.
Their claim is that the country has been ruined by the left, and they want to restore it to its former glory. It requires ignoring the fact that the country has taken a hard right shift since the time they are idealizing.
As for the cognitive dissonance, Stephen Colbert (during The Colbert Report) played around with this self-contradiction. His book is titled "America Again: Re-becoming The Greatness We Never Weren't"

The average lifespan of a car is 200k miles, not 300k. While it's not uncommon to see cars going higher than that, it's rare to see them get to 300k. I've had 2 Toyotas that died between 230k and 260k. There are more citations in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_longevity
Given that 300k km is ~186k miles, I think OP made a pretty reasonable comparison.
As for robustness, how do you even define that? Repair costs per year/mile? Frequency of repairs needed? In either case, there's a much bigger gap between a Jeep and a Toyota than between ICE and BEV.
TC's video is specifically about North America, particularly the US. Here, we currently have 3 (well, 3.5) connectors. They are Chademo, j1772/CCS, and Tesla.
Chademo is already dead on new cars, and was never very widely adopted. Tesla is of course the connector used on most Teslas. J1772 (Level 1/2 AC) and CCS (Level 3 DC Fast) charging connectors are used on everything else. J1772 is electrically compatible with level 1/2 Tesla, requiring only dumb/passive adapters. CCS and Tesla supercharger is more difficult. This is the standard for almost all new EVs that aren't Tesla.
BUT, there been a more recent development! The Tesla connector has been standardized as the North American Charging Standard (NACS). Most major manufacturers have already signed on.
Which means aside from a transition period with adapters, the future here is a clear standardization on NACS.
ETA: He also has a later video where he covers why that ends up being a good thing.
The term frequently means narrowly avoiding a bad outcome, regardless of how it happens. Often it's nothing more than Mr Magoo-ing out of the way.
There are remarkably few people in the world who can actually dodge a literal bullet. Everything else is just luck or escaping.

You're ignoring the 3 episodes where Tennant came back as the Doctor, between Whittaker and Gatwa. Not as a throwback or anything, but as a proper regeneration.
Where do you have a liquor store open until 11? Most close at 9, and I've only ever seen a couple open until 10.
Not necessarily. They could split the video in advance, assuming the ads will always be at the same point. Even if not, they could still use the direct, unaltered source with a range. The big challenge would be keeping it all synced, which I think is safe to say that they will get right.
But even if it did need to be transcoded, YouTube automatically transcodes every single video uploaded, multiple times. They are clearly not afraid of it.
