But Springfield and North Haverbrook have datacentres!

But what color of bicycle would he ride?

The Harley Davidson or Fender business model.

They all overheat.

They could try and make a camera that doesn’t overheat and shut down.

seems like a $20k truck would be compelling

they won’t be $20K, or even $25K.

PHEV motors require less maintenance. They have no transmission, and a fraction of the strain of ICE motors.

press Y to doubt.

Range anxiety is waaay overblown in my opinion.

By media funded by gas and oil

. Plug-In hybrids are kind of a waste, and really only see benefits in very niche situations.

The situation where you commute 25 miles or less, where national average is 16 miles.

The two examples of repair you used can’t happen on an EV. Of course any EV can be maintained DIY.

I drive a hybrid, it’s identical to the previous car except it uses 60% less fuel. $2000-3000+ a year savings.

Americans need to pay more attention to what is going on in Iran. Trump is draining US reserves to keep prices low, and there has never been a supply crisis this bad in history. We are months away from gas line ups and flag systems, like the 70s fuel crisis, except this crisis is far worse. The shit hits the fan after the mid-terms, by design.

Sub 500 euro/mo lease

that’s renting a car you don’t own.

is completely wrong

is it?

Tesla sells the least reliable vehicles you can buy right now.

and

They also have the highest crash rate.

And

The newer models have the battery pack glued into the frame, cannot be replaced, just junked. All models have a cast aluminum frame that is brittle in crashes and cannot be repaired, leading to more write-offs, more junk.

If I buy a 10yo EV it’ll definitely need a new battery pack.

Depends in mileage, how often it was fast charged, and with some models you cannot replace the pack at all, others you can refurbish the pack with only replacing the defective cells.

People are only buying crossovers. Don’t blame car companies for making cars people buy.

Traditional ICE based car companies dug their own graves by insisting on staying at the starting line for 20 years, pushing their ICE garbage instead of supporting local refinining.

Nope. Joe Biden spent billions on battery valley to make batteries in the USA, then you idiots re-elected Trump and he put your asses back in the stone age. That’s why Detroit is fucked. Then, he tariffed any imported batteries.

sounds like you want a free car.

That extra $20k is for the EV’s battery.

People need to stop quoting Elon Musk. That was true in 2012. Buzz battery is 90kwhr, the cost of batteries is now $120/kWh. So the whole pack costs $11k. Funny how with ICE now one quotes the cost of a catalytic system or how much mining goes on for the platinum and rhodium in cats. ID Buzz is overpriced, plus it’s not even good. It’s a small van.

you might want to re-check your math.
