With how fast EV technology is evolving I get less and less interested in buying one right now, it seems like anything I buy will be obsolete in a couple of years.

Welcome to buying a computer.

My computers last more than 10 years because the parts are upgradeable, unfortunately that strategy doesn't work for cars

An EV that you buy now would last you 10 years, especially if it has an NACS port.

There isn’t any car you can “upgrade” after purchase.

Yes but my car is from 1993 and it's still enough for my needs

Sure you can, no one is stopping you from turning your Ford or whatever car into a shitty Lamborghini and I'm sure someone's done it before. I saw a guy make a working car out of godam Lego you can do anything ffs
