I've been on a few roadtrips with the PacHy and driven it for a stretch. Seemed great to me. I need to pick my friend's brain a bit more on it. He's got a family of 4 and a dog, and no truck (previously he borrowed my 4x8 trailer).

New car buyers don't need to be concerned with replacement costs of anything because they'll sell it by year 8.

Time and money are fungible. A car saves time, but costs money. People tend to buy them for more than simple transport though. Even freebeard is flirting with the FUV, and I assume a bit part of that is the 'F'. I'm always encouraging people to spend their money where it makes them happy (after covering the basics).
