They all die quickly. They will work fine in my pc and chargers though. It's just working with the car that's funky.
I’ve found a lot of people with cables that go bad are disconnecting by pulling on the wire rather than the connector. I typically use the same cables for the life of my phone by disconnecting them properly.

Same for any plug.
I disconnect by the head, don't lean the cable against anything. I have never had cables go bad outside of my car. I believe it's the extreme temp changes that do it. I live in the northeast and it fluctuates a good 30 degrees everyday. Plus if it's 20f outside and I get in and it warms up to 70f that's huge. Plus salt.
