I own a Tesla. I don’t feel superior, I just hated paying for gas.,(reply>), @The False Hero who owns a car that long though? I usually trade in every 3 years and statistically so do many others.  Might suck for used car prices though.  Current ev batteries can last 18-20 years,(reply>), @acekkkkkk Eletric cars also don't make a million miles with original parts reliably. EV's (most with not even half that kind of a mileage), all came with issues aswell. At costs for which you could easily buy 2 brand new IC-engines.<br>In addition, combustion engines can often be fixed easily and cheap. <br>I agree with you that batteries don't all have to be replaced in 7-10 years. SOME might work well enough a lot longer. Whether or not it's still safe, is another question.,(reply>), Show me a combustion engine that makes a million miles with original parts reliably,(reply>), @The False Hero bullshit. That is a common misconception. Ev batteries are so much better than your phones. Battery will probably never fail at all but you would have to live with half the range after 15 years or so or 800 thousand miles,(reply>), Then you're really going to hate it when you have to pay $20,000 to replace the battery in 7-10 years. Unless you offload it to some sucker later. Kind of like how EV owners offload their guilt onto gas car owners and remain willfully ignorant of the own damage their vehicles cause.
