And when you have to replace the engine or transmission in short order because you bought a used BMW only intended to run through it's warranty period, it's like buying another new accord.

That is a crazy amount of depreciation. Why do super luxury cars all seem to drop like a rock used?

That's a huge part. Parts and systems that cost crazy amounts to replace if they go bad, so the "worth" of the car depreciates fast, the cars are so complex now that they are almost guaranteed issues down the road. Complex high strung engines that develop issues, etc.

I do wonder if there will be a time, where there will be so many OEM batteries, that you can just replace them, outside of the manufacturer. If that day comes, that's when I will consider EVs. Not before then.

Ooh, lets count how many idiots lost their home because they live on the coast or at 5' above sea level.

I did not know salt water submersion was a special risk factor for lithium battery fires. It’s already almost impossible to insure anything in coastal Florida but for EVs I’m guessing even more so.
This isn’t gloating. I live in LA where earthquakes and fires plague us so I take these sorts of considerations seriously. |
