Tesla costs the least; German brands the most, in CR’s exclusive analysis
BOHICA replied to BOHICA's topic in Current Events
😂 your co worker is an idiot. Model s modules are a favorite for home back up power and solar storage. Old batteries bring good money. https://www.ebay.com/itm/395281111022?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1w5xBZoDjRUK_xIa2Hk6bhw13&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=395281111022&targetid=1644837434323&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9033313&poi=&campaignid=21214270471&mkgroupid=159705723285&rlsatarget=pla-1644837434323&abcId=9407517&merchantid=427087169&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh8-UDxEidrVVbtlxJXOFMPGa&gclid=CjwKCAjw57exBhAsEiwAaIxaZinCBwkXa_yDKUk15ES6_4WGz5mhzChMpdeItMgnYdtJE7R0iZ3SaRoCGNoQAvD_BwE -

Most definitely. Tesla's own data show Model S and X batteries retain about 90 percent of their original capacity on average over 200,000 miles of use. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also once tweeted that the battery pack in the Model 3 and Model Y was designed to last 1,500 charging cycles, which translates to about 300,000 miles for Standard Range models and about 500,000 miles for Long Range versions. https://www.motortrend.com/features/how-long-does-a-tesla-battery-last/ -

100% salvage vehicles they bring lots of money. Bid on this one on copart is up to $9500. Lots of after market like them for swaps in classic cars and such. https://www.copart.com/lot/47189554/Photos/clean-title-2020-tesla-model-y-nc-gastonia -

They bring good money just for the battery. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285218241284?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=285218241284&targetid=1645685073248&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1016202&poi=&campaignid=20133407470&mkgroupid=147476396765&rlsatarget=pla-1645685073248&abcId=9312979&merchantid=118875706&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh9moY2b0eSRr-Uusm2QEZpUH&gclid=CjwKCAjw57exBhAsEiwAaIxaZgwiEco0KP-VAuUpyqlxqvkX_WOQTcuP0RdRHRu94PGGxRGcY7FtZBoCQnUQAvD_BwE -

Batteries last much longer than that. Couple 100k miles and 15 plus years -
Grid and battery recycling is expanding as needed currently. Just not a lot of feed stock for battery recycling as of yet.
-
Around 200

The range estimates on the Rivian are pretty dang accurate from my experience. Probably pushing a 1000 miles of towing with it so have a good idea on the accuracy
-
Empty twin axle car hauler. You said empty snowmobile trailer in your post and it’s good for similar.

I don’t have range anxiety. Don’t plug in until I go to bed and it charges up while I sleep. @Rigid1 just did a shopping cart…. $88 install, $13 disposal fee for a grand total of $800 and a few dollars after veteran discount for a 60,000 mile tread warranty all season tire. They would also price match track so take another $24 off the total. Think I will get over 60,000 out of mine based on the wear they are seeing.

They are not snow tires…. The are 3 peak all seasons. They also have a 60,000 mile tread life warranty. 10% veteran discount at discount tire…. So after mounting and balancing and tire disposal a shade over $800 for 4 tires
-
Never seen that happen. Doesn’t look like an EV charger plug though.
-
Nokians for the Tesla are just under $200 a tire. But then I also get a veteran discount so mounting and balanced and old tire disposal fee I think all in all I think it was $800 and a few dollars for a set of 4

Usually stay at hotels visiting family. Never have plugged in at a families house but they are more like an airplane ride away. Wife’s family is all around 30-40 miles from our location. Got 2 chargers in my garage so no need to plug into neighbors. I would never run an extension cord for an EV as to much crate drop. most decent hotels anymore offer free charging for EV’s

What lies?

2022 model bought in December of 21. Company pays me mileage. Works out better then a company truck as I don’t have room at my house for a company truck.
-
Charge is typical free at hotels. Charge for free at home as well. So some minimal enroute charging the cost savings is a no brainer for a road trip car. 1 set of tires, a couple sets of wiper blades, lost track of washer fluid consumed, and 1 set of cabin air filters. Been damn cheap.

Mr Daisying a Tesla is like going all out in the best europeans sedan that they offer.
-
Should last me 400,000 miles with minimal maintenance and extremely cheap filling of the tank. Your friends son must have got a bmw i3 or Nissan leaf or something.
-
In about 400 miles or so I need about 15-20 minutes of charge time. Enough to take a piss and move on.

Almost 62952 miles in 2 years and 4 months
