This is compounded by the fact that EV tech is rapidly improving, fueling depreciation. It's like personal computers in the 90's/00's.
Compare to gas cars which is a very mature technology, and really only perks and features get updated.
- germinalphrase 1y agoAre they rapidly improving though? Sure, other companies are making an effort to catch up with Tesla on autonomous driving, but range/speed/price are largely stagnant. Mostly, it looks like every company (in the US/EU)is in shambles releasing half baked EVs hoping no one will notice that their hardware company is terrible at software.
- Workaccount2 1y agoThe combination of range, (charging) speed, and price have all greatly improved since 2020. The next five years look promising too, with solid state batteries and smaller/lighter motors set to hit the market.
- germinalphrase 1y agoYes, but not at 90’-20’s laptop improvements cycles.
- worik 1y agoAbsolute, resolute "no" to "autonomous driving". Not unless it is 100% reliable, and it will never be with current technology. The development of autonomous driving has hit diminishing returns, and while "mostly reliable" is OK for a Taxi fleet with expensive experts on call 24/7, I do not want the deadly half-arsed crap from Tesla.
- raisedbyninjas 1y agoNot really. Battery density and cost has been improving steadily for a decade. Most manufacturers are installing heat pumps now. The speed of DC fast charging is inconsistent between OEMs, but that's still a factor of infrastructure too. Vehicle to home and Integrated trip planning with battery charging are the biggest areas of improvement for most OEMs.
