I'm concerned about the video showing the guy that blew up his 2012-ish Tesla Model S. He was disgusted because the battery went out of his 10 year old car and it cost as much as the car did to replace it. Meanwhile, well-kept ICE cars go almost indefinitely. My point: the lower cost of ownership changes again after a while, with ICE becoming cheaper.

Combustion engines fail. Transmissions fail. All light autos fail eventually. Based on available evidence, EVs will last longer due to less than 20 moving parts in the powertrain. Hopefully the cost of refurbishing failed battery packs comes down to a few thousand dollars over time, as the aftermarket community grows for that service. https://057tech.com/ https://057tech.com/ https://warranty.057tech.com/ https://warranty.057tech.com/
