The most I have ever spent on a car is $4000. And at that price I still expect to get another 60-80k out of a car.
If an EV ever gets that cheap, I will be sure to give them a spin. But until then I will take their reliability claims with a grain of salt.
- jhoechtl 3y agoAbsolutely. Will never come true for EVs even after inflation adapted
- uticus 3y ago$4000 for me meant something totally different 4 years ago, than what it means today. I used to expect to get a very used, high mileage but repairable and dependable vehicle for that amount with some effort searching. I can remember buying before internet, you could look at local paper or dealerships but the best hope for a larger pool of searching was phone calls, printed listings, etc. When internet searching really caught on I thought it would open up a larger market and drive prices down with the extra competition. Not sure to what extent that happened but in any event prices have done anything but go down over past 10-15 years, with a massive spike in prices especially past 4 years.
- tonyedgecombe 3y agoI do wonder if that end of the market is going to disappear. It’s going to be hard justifying spending $10k for a new battery when the car is only worth half that.
