The iPhone example was just to make it more obvious, but the logic still applies. It's 13k at best, not 11k

- skylurk 1y agoI think you are misreading? > $17k minus an extra $2k added to my Camry's trade-in value This says the dealer paid a premium for the Camry to secure the deal on the Leaf. The Camry's full trade-in value was not given.
- bapak 1y agoRight, my initial statement applies: it's not "just $11k", it's a lot more.

- skylurk 1y agoHow I read it, the deal could have been something like $5k (+$2k) for the trade-in car and $10k in cash. Later there is a $4k used EV tax rebate. In this situation the cost works out to something like 5k + 10k - 4k = 11k
- me-vs-cat 1y agoThe year-old iPhone example is misleading at best, if you take this guy at his word on having "driven into the ground" multiple cars. If you don't believe him on that front, I see no reason you'd believe anything else in this essay, anyway. We should ourselves and should encourage others to effect less waste in our world. We should not compare someone apparently doing so to those who clearly do not.
