That’s not taking into account the lower maintenance costs is it? Massively fewer moving parts in an electric vehicle “engine” aka drive train means less things to break. The recommended service for a Model 3 or Model Y is every two years.

Because jQuery was written to paper over limitations in ancient browsers that no longer exist, and modern (es6+) vanilla js is actually quite good. One of the primary reasons jQuery was invented is not relevant today. It’s still good softwa

Big end of year bonuses are par for the course (in addition to a nice salary) in finance. I've worked as an engineer in the industry for close to 15 years.

Most of those internal combustion engine maintenance parts simply do not exist one electric vehicles. You still need maintenance to fix / replace them, and that does not exist for most of those. The transmission on say a Tesla is a sin

I said sabot style… meaning explosive shaped charge to take out external armor, and usually a small (usually titanium) penetrator. An RPG just has the shaped charge aspect. Trophy was designed exactly to kill stuff like rpgs.

A sabot round is really two parts, right? You have the shaped charge that blows up exterior armor and then a small penetrator, generally the size and shape roughly of a pencil, that goes in and makes a tiny hole. Active protection systems l

Is it really though? There are some really good active protection systems like Israel's TROPHY which do a pretty good job taking out incoming sabot style (tank shell, javelin, RPG) warheads. The modern incarnation[1] (M1A2 SEPv2) of th

30k for a battery replacement? It’s 16k parts and labor to replace the battery in my model 3, and as you say, the cost will go down over time.

The reason this matters is that they make more cars in less time so they make more money. The build quality hype is pretty overrated IMO. Tesla build quality is actually pretty good now.

by SEJeff 5y ago
I think it is more they can make the same number of vehicles in a smaller space, thereby doing it faster and more profitably. Tesla's gross margin (profit per car essentially) is 10-15% higher than most all of the rest of the industry.

I mean there are very detailed overviews of Model S taxis with 400k miles on them. There are many many Model 3s with 150-200k miles on them. Anecdotally, teslas seem to last a very long time. Things that break on ICE vehicles commonly EVs d

Tesla claims they operate their service centers at cost and the goal is that they are explicitly not a profit center. This is why so many dealerships are disincentivized to sell EVs however. Less maintenance (due to less physical moving par

I had mobile service come out to my car literally last week. It just depends on availability of technicians and the municipality. They're aggressively hiring for the role however, so it might be a temporary thing.

But the OPs comment was that the west ended invested in SAMs, a laughably incorrect statement if you study the order of battle of any western military, US or otherwise.
