    I know how it works. I was making a joke by applying the concept of disposable e-waste junk to a massive dump truck.

      Yes but your comment was in every way indistinguishable from a comment by an idiot who had no idea how it worked, didn’t read the article, and commented an incorrect explanation anyways.

        You truly believe someone thought that you would just throw away an entire dump truck when the battery died?

          Depends on how easy it is to remove the battery and how many replacement batteries are on the market.

          Also a bit of a ship of theseus issue where if the truck gets refurbished by the company then is it the same truck?

          These things are very large and very few in number. I know nothing about the company behind its production.

          So it is possible.
