The person that buys that one you get rid of on the used market still save carbon emissions probably up to 300,000 miles or more at which points it’s raw materials are recycled and turned into a new EV with less carbon input then harvesting the raw materials from the earth.

While that in theory is true....the used car market isn't kind to evs. Who will take the risk of battery failure as milage goes up? Not the people living paycheck to paycheck.

At 60k miles they still likely have substantial warranty left.  So they are less worrisome on major repair bills at 60k miles then say an ICE which is out of warranty that may need a major expense in repairs and just general maintenance.

Total speculation. Nothing else. The ICE is STILL way cheaper to fix.

That why I said when milage climbs...would you buy a 100k ice or an ev? How about 150k ice vs ev

At 100k a tesla stills has a battery and power train warranty if it’s less than 8 years old.   Would buy if price is right and in the market to buy.  Wouldn’t buy and ICE vehicle with 100k or out of warranty  I wouldn’t buy neither at 150k miles.

 

also the data show the used EV’s that sold in quarter 1 of 23 was up by 32% so people don’t seem to be worried about buying Used EV’s

Rapid Growth: Sales of Used Electric Vehicles Increase by 32% in Q1, According to Cox Automotive Estimates

Retail used electric vehicle sales – EVs sold through a licensed dealership – increased significantly in Q1, according to Cox Automotive data, up 32% year over year, to 42,753 units. (Sales volume estimates do not include private-party, consumer-to-consumer sales). Used EV sales in Q1 2023 represent twice the volume sold in Q1 2021.

64% of cars on the road are over 100k who will risk battery replacement? 

Many.  It may be a deal or barrier for you but it’s not for most.  Any EV sold by startups (which makes up most EV’s on road today) have 120k warranty all the way up to 180k.  If the EV was sold new  in California it has at minimum 10 year 150k mile warranty.  It’s the law.

Must be troublesome if they come with that kind of warranty.

Or just that solid of a product that you don’t manufactures don’t have to worry having to replace components under lengthy warranties terms.

That's not the case though. Teslas are known for poor build quality.

Battery and drive units are known for rock solid reliability but they have had panel gaps as about the only quality concern if you are being honest.

Funny my now former coworker bought a Tesla 3 few months back with a junk battery dirt cheap 70-80k miles I forget it is low though. He bought a wrecked one to fix cheap. The batteries do go interwebs is littered with stories this is just one I personally know. Wrecked ones still sitting outback.
