The whole idea does not compute as well as they try to make it appear. In past months tere were repeated tests by German reviwers and cra enthiusiasts in our media. There conclusions were on qulity, durablity, range of especially Tesla models were in their mildest form deeply sobering, sometimes simply obliterating. And repairs were extremely costly, while reselling value was exceptionally low (which does not surprise me one bit). Ecars for short distances inside cities, service cars: maybe, I cannot competently judge that, but have my ebike experience, I could ikmagien ecars in cities work, but not for every private household (too expensive). But as Neal already mentioned: I think for trucking, freight moving, overland travelling, families needing their cars for both in- and outside cities travelling : an idiotic idea. Too expensive. And not ecologically sustainable.

...what also hasn't really been discussed is the miserable cost of repairs to the Tesla developement one-piece carbody that houses the huge and heavy battery. The repair infrastructure and turnaround time is poor as the current focus is on building new EVs, not fixing old ones. Insurance premiums are accordingly higher. https://electrek.co/2023/09/14/tesla...asting-report/

Reminds me of personal computers. I once spent two grand on a 486 laptop with Windows 3.1 only to see win 95 Pentiums come out a year later.

I wouldn't be surprised if that also happened to a few more people hereabouts

Has the EU overturned the ban on combustion engines?
https://www-focus-de.translate.goog/...en&_x_tr_hl=de I predicted that this ban would not hold. It simply is impossible to do, at least within the planned timeframe. And the rest of the world continued to revolve around the sun, even if the EU planned to make the sun revolve around Brussels.

Yes, that's it, exactly. Except $60 grand is a bit more of a bite. Plus, when things go wrong with an EV, it's serious money to repair--talking Land Rover money $$$ I had a friend who drove a nice gas-powered car, was solid, a few years old but worked fine. He had it overheat, so he stopped and when it cooled down, refilled the radiator and went on. It overheated again, he repeated. And when I say it overheated, I mean, he didn't noticed the temp gauge buried in the red, he noticed the antifreeze smell and the car slowing down. He took it to a shop, they changed the radiator (why? I don't know, they obviously didn't test it). Did not fix the problem. So, instead of getting a competent shop to find the problem, he kept driving it. Yeah, in a week it seized up. Now he's looking at used cars at the $30,000 range to replace it. It would have been a lot smarter to spend $500 or so to diagnose the issue and fix it. Now with EVs, when they break down, how many of us can repair the battery system? |

Exactly and even if we could the parts would be a heckuva lot more than 500 bucks.
