      The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

      You are certainly entitled to your opinion. It doesn't make it factual.

      I think the biggest point that's being overlooked is the ability to eventually get off the oil reliance on the middle east. The USA is certainly not an oil rich country compared the the ME. We will absolutely run out of oil / gasoline if we're only using our own supply in a short period of...

      Government subsidizes the hell out of gasoline. They also gave many billions in free money to GM & chrysler for a bailout that was never repaid.

      You linked several posts to CA. I was under the impression that we live in Indiana. Do you go through a background check to buy ammo? Do you see that happening inevitably? You have to use the same logic across all laws if you're going to paint the California brush on all topics.

      I would have to do the math but they are in different vehicle segments. The cheapest Tesla is the model 3 and it's most similar to the accord which is a lot more expensive than the civic. You should be comparing it to the accord in that regard. Tesla's next gen car will likely be in the same...

      Auto manufacturers are not going to do something unless it's in their best interest or unless they think they can profit. Top 5 selling vehicles in the USA as of October 2023: 1) Ford F Series - ~573k sold 2) Chevy Silverado - ~403k sold 3) Ram Pickup - ~332k sold 4) Toyota Rav 4 - ~302k...

      Nikola is not a Tesla Rival. Their CEO just got sentenced to 4 years in prison for FRAUD. They basically lied about everything to investors. Their vehicles were mostly Hydrogen / battery hybrid based and it's not viable. They lied about all of it and eventually got caught after pumping and...

      Woof. The government is not forcing you to buy anything. The government doesn't dictate what manufactures decide to build. They have incentivized manufacturers to build EVs and source their components within the USA. That is why the EV tax credit is being cut next year unless the vehicles are...

      I'm not sure about in Japan, but Toyota really isn't offering anything compelling but Hybrids in the US. You can't expect to sell more of something if it's not compelling enough to buy. As I've said several times in this thread, EVs still have a ways to go and definitely are not available to the...

      Well some people may keep vehicles 20 years but that isn't the actual average. According to any study / survey I could find online the average vehicle ownership length is 8 - 8.5 years. Also, based on my anecdotal experience with friends & family members, almost none of them have kept all of...

      Seems like a rather crappy car company then. I've never heard of such a thing with the major EV player, Tesla.

      The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

      It's just extremely misleading, especially for people who already have no experience with EVs and it just leads to fear mongering / spreading a false narrative. The facts are that buying a new EV vs buying a new gas car are not that different when it comes to warranty and in some cases the EVs...

      The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

      That seems like a bogus video. A new Tesla battery costs about 20k sometimes less. Every manufacturer will be different but Tesla battery & motor warranty is 8 years or 120k miles whichever comes first. Used to be 8 years unlimited miles. That warranty is better than any other gas car I've...

      The only reason I have ever had a flat tire was from running over something that was not supposed to be in the road. The last flat tire I pulled a 4 - 5" smashed vape pen out of my tire. I could not believe it. It was like watching one of those bot-fly videos where they pull a fly larva out of...

      Extra cost more likely. I don't know any EVs that come with a spare. I think you can buy them as an add on. Maybe some do but none of the Teslas do. I think Rivian you have to purchase a spare at checkout. Whoever told your friend that a spare tire would reduce range is an idiot btw.

      FSD really is something separate from Electric Vehicles. It is all software and the only thing it has in common with EVs is that Tesla is the one pioneering / pushing it forward. I would not pay for this software and I don't. Their basic "autopilot" is essentially a highway lane assist that...

      Who is pushing you though? I'm certainly not. There is no penalty for buying a gas car. The Saudis will make sure to keep the prices of gas somewhat affordable to keep the USA on oil as long as possible and that's basic business as they still have a huge supply of oil and don't want to lose a...

      The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

      I would say that I've found no reason in my life, currently, to go back to a gas car for everyday driving. My new home will have solar and I can essentially live off the grid when that happens which will be nice. Even with our overcast weather in Indiana you can get enough sunlight to power your...

      Story time since you asked...These are not all mine per say but are in the immediate family. The first EV I bought was a compliance car that was only sold in California / Arizona I believe. It is called a Chevy Spark EV. It only got about 70 miles of range in good weather, but it was also...

      Actually every modern vehicle outside of the Tesla Cybertruck still runs on a 12v architecture for most of the components. The main battery will run the motors but it all also links to the 12v as well. It's pretty strange to me but it may be a regulatory thing as I haven't done a deep dive into...
