Think it was rich rebuilds had a Tesla come in with a quote for a $20,000+ battery estimate from Tesla for a broken coolant line nipple.

He put a $5 home depot on in it

I think most the people buying them are the type to buy a new car every 4 or 5 years

Really? Maybe not the original owner but, someone down the line will be faced with replacement and the subsequent cost.

Just like the T4 tractors and diesel engines being made today, sure, the emissions warranty is 5 years guaranteed replacement but what happens after the 5 year replacement period when subsequent owners are saddled with a huge replacement cost?

That is the primary reason what Pre 4 tractors are bringing what they bring, used.

People aren't quite as stupid as the gummit thinks they are.

I realize we now live in a throwaway, load the landfill society but not everyone is flush today.

Main reason why there will NEVER be a toaster car here. That and how fragile the grid really is though no one talks about that.

This remewable bs is just that. Renewables will never be able to assume base load capability no matter what the 'greenies' think. When the sun don't shine or the wind don't blow, renewables produce no power and just become expensive rocks.

Here in rural southern Alberta the grid could handle a moderate amount of EV's. In the cities not without huge grid upgrades. Who is going to pay for the infrastructure? How are we gong to cheaply generate enough power to make EV's a viable alternative.

Another problem is they just aren't practical for rural people. A 150 mile range just doesn't cut it. And yes you could plug the EV in and recharge but it's not practical till stores have rows of electrical plugs in parking lots for recharging. Again that's not going to happen in the near future.

I've thought about it for my own local use but would still need an ice for longer distances.

I really don't think that EV's are about saving the planet.

Guess you dont spend much time out in public.

...and you obviously didn't pay attention in English class in school either. Additionally, it's 'don't' not dont.

You are correct in your assumption that I do not spend a lot of time in 'public'. Why I live where I do in rural America and why I farm. I don't need to interact with the public, in fact I have little desire to.

Do keep in mid that whatever you post on this or any other forum for that matter that anyone can read what you post. One does not have to be a member of any forum to read your comments, the only thing being a registered member allows you to do is comment.
