Depends on the perspective.

If you bought a one of the more popular EV models, with their value plummeting replacement parts will be cheap af when something inevitably breaks.


But if you invest in technology thinking it’s going to hold its value i have a $600 typewriter to sell you

Well yeah the flip side is used EVs lose so much value quickly so you can get a good deal on a used one. They're probably great buying used and if you have no kids, have a short commute. Different lifestyles, different needs, which is why governments trying to mandate them is ridiculous. I think in a couple of decades EVs have a bright future, but they're remain a niche until the batteries are completely different and the infrastructure for a full recharge away from home takes less than 10 minutes.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

They are also promoting them because fossil fuels are going to be less available in the coming decades.

Ya I definitely pissed a lot of money away, bought at like apex worst time (during COVID and before the tax break changed).

But I doubt I'll think about selling it unless there is some massive change in technology. Does everything I need it to.

And I think only Toyota or something was the one legacy auto maker to not be retarded during this whole thing. Sadly, no US company could get away with it, but even if someone managed to fake EV interest for a few years that would have been a major win. Was obvious that the timelines were unrealistic, they didn't have the infrastructure to mass produce, and by the time they might, Tesla will have already doubled the distance per charge etc. Even more laughable that they thought they would do it without their charging infrastructure at first.

In order for most EVs to financially make sense you need to drive alot and live in an area with high gas prices with low electricity rates. There is a case for EVs, but for most people paying extra for an EV to save money on gas does not work out.

The people mentioned in the article basically got fleeced because there is no way they could have saved enough money from gas to make up for the huge price drop on EVs if they had waited a year or two.

Nah.

Explain to the class why a $35k Camry is a "better buy" than a $35k Model 3. The Model 3 will be cheaper to operate, period.

TBF to Tesla, they arn't just used as EVs but also a styling statement. The price point is to also separate them from the poors. It has worked for Tesla brand somewhat but the brand power just isn't as good as they'd like it to be.

You haven't driven 50K miles total in your life, Wincel. That requires having reasons to leave the house and taking care of yourself. The frauding is off the charts.

Oh wow look at this cuck. Yeah brah, I said "nothing ever goes wrong".

FACT: EV's cost less to maintain. Maybe if you suk a few more dinks this year you'll be able to afford one. Until then, enjoy paying for gas. LOL
