Recycling them,hopefully! But recycling Batteries,whether Lead/Acid-or any other type is a nasty environmental proposition!

That's one of the reasons for leasing a vehicle. If it's a 3 year lease and the manufacture has a 3 year 36,000 mile warrantee, you're into a new car before problems arise.

Regarding my lease:
Maintenance is for 35 months, 36000 miles. The limited factory warranty is for 48 mos or 50k miles. The additional 60 month CPO warranty has unlimited mileage 999,999 mile.) All smart remote stuff good as long as 5g technology exists Emissions warranty for 80k miles, 96 months.
I love many conveniences about it especially its 20-way seats that heat cool and massage.
My 2023 $70,000 BMW 530e xDrive lease cost me ~$211.00 per month.

So, I was sitting in a room watching a film that showed acres and acres of discarded washers, dryers, furniture, refrigerators, cans, glass, automobiles, plastic tubs, etc...Piles and piles and acre after acre. Uh, that was in a high school class titled "Modern Problems/Personal Finance" and it was in 1974. The problem has only worsened.

Hey Pete, I hope you check yourself before you get in your pile of junk. (note: I used the correct pronoun for yourself. )

((Now, who the hell would give this a "thumbs-down"???? It's the truth---maybe a truth many don't care to hear....?

National Geographic showed several pages of avid surfers in Indonesia--all around them in the water, yes, even the waves, could be seen garbage of all kinds, much of it plastic. We have a program here in Oregon called "Washed Ashore"--statures and artwork made from the trash collected from the ocean. Cleverly done, but still, rather sad......

I can dig it.
Speaking of doing something remote, It’s going to be awhile before I figure out and trust myself to remote control park my bimmer like shown in this short video.
For $50,000.00 over 3 years I'd be looking for a chauffer with the car. Seems like you have more money than sense and you still have to sit in traffic... behind the guy in a juncker.

$50K USDs ? You obviously haven’t read post # 29 in this thread. Anyways I did forget to include the additional annual cost for a license plate renewal for hybrids where I live in that post. Hybrid owners pay an additional fee of $150 USDs because we don’t pay much in taxes when refueling gas.
