Tesla model Y 4680 battery pack not very serviceable!

I'm pretty sure my old Peugeot 206 was built around the air conditioning compressor.  They just progressively bolted the rest of the car to that.  Certainly, it was easy enough to change the passenger side headlamp, but the driver's side lamp requires a contortionist due to the location of the compressor.

I can accept some parts being difficult to replace, but to have to disassemble things to replace light bulbs is ridiculous, they are a consumable, and one that usually fails without notice and may need replacement in a parking lot.

nctnico:
OTOH... On my car (Ford Focus) I do have to take the entire headlamp out. But it is only 1 screw (with both Torx and flathead) that sits on top and the unit is easy to pull out. With the headlamp unit out, replacing the bulb is a piece of cake. I'd say it is easier than popping the lid open on the back of a headlamp unit that stays in place.

Hey, Italy is also in Europe, ok?

Italian cars don't make it long enough for rust to have a significant impact on the car  :box:

And yet i see many fiat from the early 2000 and even from earlier, every day. And being in the northeast, we use salt all winter. I scrapped the old grande punto some years ago because after an accident it came out the head lamps i had to replace were worth more than the car itself, it also had suffered lots of damage from hail over the years and the mileage was high so it was not really worth restoring. It was worth repairing though, could have lasted me until at least this year.
