Just noticed today the model 3 and model Y just got a 1k disscount !!
Actually it's the ICE Industry that backs the mass production of the all BEV as that's how massive the profits are in the sales of the ICE Platform and sold globally and of course globally sold as well.
Game over for gas.... Untill you relies you'll be on a even longer wait lost then the model 3 that most TO THIS DAY years later are still waiting for it... And the people that do have a model S, 3, X, and Y also usually still have a gas car in the driveway for when the Tesla inevitably breaks down for something else again... Yeah hunny untill their reliably score can at least beat Fiat/Chrysler, they will only ever be expensive toys instead of reliable primary transportation. Evey tesla fanboy gushes over all this and ignores the fact if i go on car gurus theres litterally hundreds of low mileage second hand model 3's flooding the used market in the DMV area because their all lemons people ditched once they realized the car spent more time with Tesla for service then in the owners possession. My model 3 was a absolute nightmare, and even if electric is the futuer id sooner buy a elecric car from GM, Hyundai, or wait for the full Ev's mazda and toyota are making together to release before i even buy another Tesla product. Amazing tech, hindered by some of the most inexperienced manufacturing in the industry.
Hawaii sounds very expensive, but is the most beautiful and exotic slice of the USA. On the mainland, I'd need 500 miles and preferably 800 just to know I can drive anywhere without being stranded or suffering in anxiety and fear about a lack of helpful services and infrastructure. There are still rural gaps in the grid so it still only makes sense as a local city car while most drivers have a gas vehicle. I wish we could go solar and not be solely dependent on the aging power grid powered by the smoky dinosaur fuel. Those shiny new Tesla cars looks so great and not a bit of smoke nor dripping oil and antifreeze is the case. I'm so tired of wading through parking lots full of oil and antifreeze while breathing the funk just tracking that in which why everything is so filthy. They did really well European countries on cleaning up the mess, redefining living standards, and making things work better with set industry standards, but we can't seem to figure it out here where we can't seem to even agree on plug standards.
How big is the island? Honestly, I’d be fine with a 100-mile vehicle, charged at home daily. The average American drives less than 60-miles a day. A bus, train, or plane is cheap enough for long distance travel.
@That1Mexican You should be stopping at least every two hours. Driving 5 hours straight is borderline negligent. Against every damn driving manual in the world.
I actually had never heard that, makes me think back to the 12 hour trip with one stop or the 20 hour drive from Colorado to Texas with a few stops, but both mostly overnight. Won’t do that again😅
It is a borderline budget car with an electric drivetrain, so if they can get the range up to 200 miles the lower operating costs and maintenance would make it a serious competitor for cheap cars like the Chevy Sonic which is where EVs need to be competitive to dominate the market.
There is only a 'Gas Killer' in the minds, thinking, mindset of the ignorant, and Globalist/Elite Cabal. It is for Authoritarian Control alone. Sincerely
Given that Tesla sells every $40k+ model that they can produce it would be very difficult to meet the battery and sales demand for a 25k or less vehicle. Many would buy and flip the cars until demand is met. Knowing Tesla though they would probably start with a 40k performance version before offering a long range or base model.
@@kevinkent6351, yeah that’s ridiculous. Tesla is profitable so the point has been proven that EVs can stand on their own. The whole credit should be removed from all manufacturers at this point.
It would be really cool if future vehicles could be modular, such that when the technology is available for a longer range it could be installed easily.
Thats good thinking Chloe', and dare we say "responsible and sustainable?" If EV makers were truly as virtuous as they want us to believe, they would do just as you say..make them modular with batteries that dont cost $20k+ to swap out when the original wont hold anywhere near full range anymore. Unfortunately, planned obsolesence is built into all mainstream consumer goods these days, including cars.
@@andrefecteau Maybe I should front a start up business...like the old phone disposal kiosks in Malls, expect this will be for disposable electric cars. Battery no longer holds a full charge and infotainment system outdated? Drop it off with me, I'l give you a prepaid card with $200 on it and you can be on your way to the nearest dealership! What part of what I said offends you...do you work in the planned obsolesence department of your company? I'd also like a link for your "average of 3 years"...that might be in your country, but for this one it's closer to 8 years and getting longer each time a survey is done. If an EV battery is still capable of 90% of it's range when new at 8 years..that could either be no big deal if the car started with a 400 mile range, or very big deal if it's a low cost EV that started with a range of 150 miles or so. But once again, thats country dependent..I live in Texas where I can drive in virtually the same direction for 9+ hours without leaving the state or doubling back. Oh, and as for savings vs filling up with regular fuel? That depends on several factors..one is the price per gallon, second is how much free time you have to use slower charging which is cheaper than fast charging. Several independent car journalists in the US found that EV's are actually a bit more expensive at this point in time..and electricity charges per kilowatt hour are rising and have been for some time now...faster than gas prices.
@@jbm0866 blah blah, there are people waaay ahead of you on the recycling game...did you have an Iphone day one? I did...it sucked, but look at it now? This is the same...study history or be history
@@andrefecteau I truly dont know what point you're trying to make, are you advocating for disposable EVs that use the same "battery can't be replaced without it costing more than its worth" business model as phone manufacturers? You must work for Tesla..
It's a city car, so only suits people who want it for that. Electric cars still have too many problems of which price is only one. Plus, I won't ever buy a Tesla and give that prick amusk any money
@@fredguntern.e.4185 How the heck'd you find something stupid to say in this sub-comment section? Delete your post within 6 hours or I take down my comment, can't allow crap like this in my comment section yo
Until they become more fix it yourself friendly it’ll never beat gas because a lot of us can’t afford Tesla’s insane labor/service cost or afford the 3 months it takes to get it fixed
200 miles on paper is like 160 irl, and then you get drain while you're at work. It would be tge minimum you need and you'd need to charge every single night
@@dealornodealproductions7314 My M3 LR has 350 something miles range total. They recommend charging it to 80% normally so that's about 280 or so miles. Granted, you do lose some range at work which is @ 1 mile per hour if you have sentry mode turned on but it's MUCH less if you leave that turned off. If you want to go on a road trip, you can charge it to 100% and have at it (or let the onboard map route you to the nearest charger etc.). And yes, they also recommend leaving it plugged in whenever you're not driving but it's not a big deal. You get home, grab the cord, push the button to open the charge port flap, stick it in, done. You can even schedule charging so it happens in the middle of the night when it's cheaper. You can also tell the car to warm up or cool off before you set off for work or home. It's awesome! Fancy a biscuit during the morning commute? Zero guilt while NOT idling in the drive thru lane. =D
I have a Y and love it. However, as more and more Tesla's flood the market (along with every other EV coming out), the charging ability and network to support them charging on the go will have to exponentially increase. No one wants to drive 15 miles out of their way, and or wait 20 minutes to hook up. Recharging has to become as ubiquitous and easy as filling up a tank of gas. Many of us have home chargers that can do the trick overnight, but not everyone is based at home all the time and getting and keeping a charge while out of your home base might be the new range anxiety.
It would sell very well in Europe, where smaller hatchbacks are still very popular. A Tesla going head to head with the VW id3 would really shake up the market, and hopefully bring down the prices of EVs over here.

@@elbertmontgomery4847 Yeah you're right my first investment with expert Mrs Letton Deb gave me a profit of €24,000 ever since then she has the most sincere broker i have known.
@TEC Man 96 most of these people are just talking out their rear-end; they can't buy a 5 year old used car for half the $25K, but it's "a thang" to talk Tesla for them. You are right, Chevy is better buy than Tesla, and so will Ford very soon. e-Mustang is too pricey, but it isn't targeted to the same demographics. But other Ford electrics are in the pipeline.
Ford built the infrastructure for gas powered vehicles with demand by selling model Ts for less than the equivalent of $10,000 in today's money. $25,000 for a base model entry level car is still not cheap. If you want to change the world, make it cheaper to do it the new way.
well being a new Bolt owner this year with about 250 mile range is great for a 200 mile round trip, but out west i will still need my gas vehicle to go the 500 mile one way trip. I do not see a charge in 15 minutes like a gas fill up. Can you see an EV truck with a camper on it crossing a large mountain range.
I personally want you to be right. But, once concern I have is the supercharger network. $25K is very affordable and without enough charging stations, recharging would be a nightmare, longer wait lines can cause chaos on long weekends. People with garage might be in a better spot but, condos, apartments have just 2 - 3 charging ports now. I believe that would not be sufficient.
This is not going to be a problem if we can get used to the idea of charging at 120v or 220v overnight. There's plenty of juice to go around and easy access -- even apartment complexes have electricity -- as long as we don't all expect to charge at 800v all the time.
I worry about it too Kiran, that new supercharger factory is going to help but being able to drive cross country and not wait in line to then wait while charging is so nice and a massive advantage to having a tesla
Charge stations will not necessarily function like gas stations. In South Africa when driving cross country, certain towns, more or less halfway, are popular refueling stops. In stead of stopping once, split your journey in 3, recharge more often with shorter stops and like say 80% charges and avoid lengthy stops.
@Jason yes the Id3 has been top of my list since it was announced, but recent reviews of budget interior (by VW standards) crappy efficiency and poor Ui have dampened my enthusiasm a bit. But I still plan to take a test drive and see for myself 🙂
@Jason also, as an id3 alternative (and I fully appreciate I’m prone to the Osborne effect here) I’m REALLY looking forward to the IONIC 5 reveal tomorrow - expectations unrealistically high for that!!
@Jason European made is the best quality, but very expensive and tricky to maintain their overseas markets like the USA the classic bug was a huge success here though the new one sucked. Are EV's like that low maintenance, don't require oil changes, and just keep going as long as one doesn't hit or get hit? I heard Teslas are guaranteed 1 million miles which is phenomenally good. It's the $10k or $20k battery replacement is why buying one used doesn't make sense. A new Cyber truck would be absolutely fabulous to get this Christmas far more than any luxury gas unless a Lambo super car were a dream come true.
I've finally reached a place in my life where I could actually afford a Tesla and I'd love to have one. However I cannot get past the right to repair issue. I do not think its ethical for Tesla to lock customers out of cars they own because they won't pay for insane overcharges on repairs. Are you listening Tesla?
Well put. No matter how well meaning the fanboys and PR is, at the end of the day, you’re completely reliant on them for any and all support 99% of the time. Terrible.
It’s the mileage on a single charge that will decide the outcome. They try selling us city cars, when we want one car for everything like we have now !!
I watched another YT video that said, based on surveys, that there were 3 main obstacles to widespread EV adoption: - price (sub $36k) - you can get EV's there now - range (over 300 miles) - you can get very close to this right now - recharge (under 30 minutes, full charge) = this is the issue [and the numbers above aren't exact but they are close enough to make recalling them easier] So yes you can get a sub $36k EV, but it won't have anywhere near 300 mile range, and you can get nearly 300 mile range but the EV will cost much more than $36k AND NEITHER of these will have such a short recharge time. Right now it's basically impossible given current battery technology; even under the most ideal of conditions for an M3 and a V3 charger, it can give you 75 miles in 5 minutes, but only if your current state of charge is low and only for that short period of time - beyond that charging slows significantly due to chemical and physical restraints of the battery technology. The video I reference then goes on to erroneously state that charging to 50% twice under 30 minutes total is the same as charging from 0 to 100% under 30 minutes at once (totally wrong). Solid state batteries are supposed to be able to charge very quickly, but have limited recharge cycles meaning you'd need some sort of battery swap program. They're also lighter, so you can pack more onto a car to increase range without the incremental loss in range (e.g. you can add range by adding batteries, but these are batteries that are heavy and merely by adding them reduce the range of the existing batteries, so it's a game of diminishing returns).
@@bairdjc Latest Hyundai Ioniq 5 can charge from 15 to 80% in 20 minutes, but it requires a 220kW DC charge point. Five of those at a gas station and you're gulping over a megawatt. Network supply issues? Meanwhile, I do 24k miles a year, my car gets 500-600 miles per tank which can be refilled in 5 minutes, does 50 mpg, and it cost me $9 hundred. I think it's gonna be a while before I'm an adopter.
@@bairdjc There is a decent chance that the IONIQ 5 might be able to deliver on all three counts, if the more optimistic rumours come true. Pricing is set to be between $30k and $40k, making it likely that the long range, rear wheel drive version will be available at around the $36k. Hyundai says it will do 292 miles, but as owners of Hyundai EVs will tell you their cars often deliver more miles than the EPA/WLTP ratings indicate making 300 miles possible for most. The IONIQ 5 is said to be able to go from 10 % to 80 % in 18 minutes, if plugged into a 350 kW CCS charger, which would mean that it in most cases will be able to charge enough to go for at least another two hours before needing to recharge again. Solid state will be nice, when they arrive, however as the IONIQ 5 proves the current available technology can also deliver what is needed.
May be a good daily but gas is still more convenient when going longer range trips. Also I would not be surprised if China suddenly has their own company with EV cars that look similar to tesla
It took 10 months to build a factory!? AND deliver the first car to the customer!? Here in the UK it would take us 10 months to decide whether we should start thinking about the possibility of considering to build such a factory... and then another 10 years to build it..
I currently own a little BMW 318 TI which I love to death. It’s a three door hatch that drives like a rally car. If Tesla could match this, my check would be in the mail.

We drove my son's Model 3 2 days ago and thouroughly enjoyed it. Although it was a lot bigger than my wife and I needed, since there's just the 2 of us, we are looking at the Model 2 when it comes to the USA market. My son drove his Model 3 to the DFW area from the Denver area and only stopped 3 times to charge. And he found three perfect spots where they could go in and eat a nice meal while it charge. Said it only added an hour to their normal drive in his ICE Audi. My wife drive a Toyota 4 Runner and loves the SUV rear lift/hatch back door. So the Model 2 will work perfect for us if it has one.

I think you're right about the price point and dates, but a model 2 with a LFP battery and 200 mile range is not model over for gas models. Range needs to be 250+.
@@JohnC-iv8jo Good point. My motto is if the range of the car is longer than my bladder range, I'm good :) Unfortunately, most people that are new to EVs don't see it that way.
As long as it has Tesla features, enough space for me to function normally, and has enough range for me to go through at least like 3 days of use without a charge, I'm more than happy with paying half the price of a model 3
Maybe too small for me, model 2, but great idea for younger people, I am more interested in range. When I find 500miles at reasonable price, I will buy👍🏼
most (not all) gasoline cars have a 250-300 mile range before needing to fill up. Since it is easier to get electricity (we all have it) than gas.... why would you wait for a 500 mile range vehicle?? Seems silly when you could start saving all your gasoline dollars now!!
Far from game over. 🙄 When it takes 2 mins to charge the battery, then it will truly be game over. Until then, people in the US still need a long distance option.
We still need other things for it to be "game over". The power grid will have to be vastly expanded; battery degradation over time wil need to be controlled so that these vehicles can be bought used after 15 years and still have usable range; and they will have to have been on the market for that long for people to be able to buy a 15 year old EV for $5,000. Charging infrastructure will have to expand geometrically as well. Right now a gas station can refuel a car every 3-4 minutes with one pump. To match current capacity with chargers, even if we get to the point where you can fully recharge in 15 minutes, there will have to be 4-5 times the number of charging stations as there currently are pumps. This means more and bigger "gas" stations, a lot more. Oh, and the government subsidies will have to go.
@@Gyppor Totally agree. I just bought a used 330e PHEV. For now, I think that ticks most boxes inside London. Full charge gets me ~25m of range with no need for petrol. When I need to do a longer trip, the ICE is well up to the task and can also recharge the battery. We are a long ways away from completely sacking off the ICE whether Govt's want to admit it or not. That being said, I certainly wouldnt buy a new diesel right about now.
@@WillowGTI I think the PHEVs are the way to go, honestly. It's a good way to gradually introduce electrics. Full on EVs rely on a large battery to achieve long ranges, and large batter = $$$$ when it comes time to replace. Your 25 mile battery is surely quite small and could be replaced for MUCH less than a 100Kwh model S battery. That car is suprisingly inexpensive too, I just looked it up and it honestly looks promising. 25 miles will get a lot of people to work and back.
1st There is NO WAY they will make EVERYONE on earth buy electric cars 2nd 19k$ is still alot to many many people 3rd E cars compared to gas/diesel cars are very VERY slow with charging 4th Many countries have 1/2 superchargers MAX in the whole country 5th When they are lowering the price they are making the cars uglier, slower, smaller, less range ect. Add something else if you think the same

I own a driving school for teens, and I'm looking to switch my whole fleet to electric. I need: - Over 320 miles of range (Workdays are long, and it's not practical to pay employees to supercharge mid-day) - Excellent visibility.

Most Teslas if not all electric cars are extremely fast I don’t think they’re good for a student to start off with you should know that fact I just watch all the races on RUclips is not very many exotic sports cars that can be the Tesla S
If you own a racing driving school that’s one thing I don’t think you know anything about quarter mile drive times when they’re run in 9 to 10 second quarter miles that’s next snapping speed and can get away from you real quick
If you thought the other models had bad build quality imagine what this cheap thing will be like. You’ll be able to see the panel gaps from across the parking lot!
How’s it game over for gas unless you have your own charging station? Until these things are more practical for city dwellers in apartments and condos they will continue to be yuppie cars.
Although having the tesla badge on the car would be great, we already see the issue with the cheep battery. Not to mention that even today there is no 35K model 3. So I love your enthusiasm, but I would be truly surprised if any of this would be happening. But hope I am wrong, it would be nice to have Tesla entering the affordable car market, not only the luxury one.
Yah I think they have their head way in the sand. It will probably not have a lot of range or charge very fast. Or the battery won't last long. I'll believe it when I see it.
@@mrwhips3623 yeah, something like that, but I wouldn't be worry about battery life, LFP is actually more durable than what Tesla is topically using. My issue is more with the price. If Tesla could do a cheap body they would be already milking this cow. I love what Elon has achieved, but in my opinion there is a reason why it takes decades to became a car maker. To make the car cheap, you need to finetoone the process and shave off the cost bit by bit. In fact, the body of the car is more than half of the price, despite evryone thinks it's the battery. Until Tesla figures out how to make cheap body they can not make an affordable car. This is where I think Tesla is far behind the OEMs. All the rest Tesla is dominating.
I love the idea... but imagine how bad it will be trying to charge at the supercharge stations once all these lower priced model owners are on the road .....
I know the versatility of a hatchback. I owned a 1980 Subaru 2-door hatchback with full independent suspension and part time 4-wheel drive. If you folded down the rear seats, you could carry a 10 foot ladder in the back. If you needed to, you could easily adjust the ride height front and rear.

With Tesla it's a "Believe it when you see it" kinda deal. We're still waiting on the 35K M3. Sure it was available for a short period of time requiring buyers to jump through hoops to order only to be told 12 month wait and now you can't even order it.
Finally that Tesla is going to produce a car for the masses I think I might just buy one when it comes out here in the United States of America I've always wanted a Tesla in that price range I'm sure I'm not the only one. But I hope they do produce a very basic model with no options one thing I miss is the old fashioned window cranks to manually raise and lower your windows I would love to see that in the new Tesla!
@@danielbentley6000 very true about people making long trips, IF people make long trips it's usually on vacations or special occasions and even then half the time it's a short trip to the airport not driving the whole way, so maybe a long drive a couple times a year.. so, why buy a 2nd car to use twice a year?? use an electric car when traveling 200 miles or less, and rent a car for those long trips.

Fun Fact: Mountains are literally being knocked down to mine the metals for the batteries. Every one contains 10 litres of oil. Every one uses 50 litres of oil to make. The energy come from power stations to charge them.
Fun fact: Battery tech is advancing faster than ever thanks to the demand generated by this. ICE tech has been stagnant for 50+ years ICE generates far more waste With increased renewable energy sources electric cars will be less of an environment burden where as ICE cars will stay the same

They produce a good looking 2 door hatch in Europe thats built well out of Berlin then it’s a game changer. Would love a 3 or Y but only out of Berlin. If Berlin built a model 3 LR for £30k it would be ordered immediately but a £25k Hatch is an interesting development, a hot hatch drivers Car would be outstanding.
@@SWR112 It's great that they're going to build them in China. It would allow them to cut the costs down even further, hopefully still retaining quality. £30k might be okay for many people in Berlin, UK, and Scandinavia but it's way too expensive for most people in eastern and southern europe. The $25K price tag would be perfect. In 3-5 years, they'll be very affordable in the secondary used car market.
your right, however gas will probably not be legal for much longer. sooner or later everyone has to switch (just a prediction, but a likely prediction)
thanks to John Q. Public who is subsidizing it directly through tax incentives and indirectly through paying for the roads, etc. through their gas taxes which combined make up any financial viability for these things, otherwise these are total money losers ... just look at electrics' resale value
Tesla needs to upgrade and expand its Supercharger network before it starts expanding its user base, especially considering many of the people purchasing a lower-cost EV likely don't have the ability to install a level 2 charger at home.
the entry level renault zoe without taxes and after incentives is already in this price range. so, that tesla will not be a revolution but one of many others that are already there. peugeot e-208, opel corsa-e, .....
@@bernhardsonn7758 yes, but there might already be a renault R5. and maybe they also make a fast version out of it. but regarding tesla. better? hmm. faster, yes, but also more expensive. these predictions regarding that nice prices don't have much in common with the reality. maybe five years later the get closer to that price point. but in reality this is just marketing blablabla. the reality is, that the focus of telsa is not to produce cheaper cars. but that is the focus of traditional car makers and they doing really well with that. it is better to have a cheaper car that does not have all these super specs but it affordable for many people. this is what other tradtitional car makers know. it is about the right package for the market, not about octovalves and 4680 cells.
I've an e-208 and enjoying it. There are things Tesla do well that I'd love to see Peugeot doing, the infotainment system is a bit sluggish and OTA updates etc
@Dale Macarena frequent small meals is a common effective strategy for both weight loss and weight gain. Gain or loss depends on the distribution of macronutrients in each meal and the calorie count of each meal. So just look it up if you are interested for more details. Thats an awesome italian quote
That's a perfect game plan to gain weight and increase your blood sugar. Eat no more than three meals a day with no snacking or better yet get on intermittent fasting, cut out sugar and carb.
I’m still waiting for someone to explain how maintenance would work for someone like me who lives 45-60 from the nearest “city”. Would Tesla come and pick my car up and take it to get worked on or would I have to drive hours to the nearest maintenance facility? Would I get a loaner if they did pick it up? Would the loaner be free or would I have to pay? So many questions before I even think of buying any Tesla.
They need to build build build new infrastructure. Now everyone can get high speed internet with Starlink which is also Elon Musk. As he makes more and more money, he reinvests in his companies which is why they're seeing new development and growth so there's a big hope America is to be fully redeveloped for the high tech era which already needed to be done. He's our only one super star visionary CEO!
@@seybertooth9282We are the, 'unstable genius,' even though we no longer have the, 'stable genius,' as president. Yes, their will be more super chargers and locations for Elon Musk is a great CEO that actually reinvests profits back into his companies to furhter develop them and actually get it to Mars in probably 10 years from now. He's a real American dreamer and our only visionary CEO for none of the others actually put profit back into infrastructure and things for us to thrive from. We need more Elon Musk types to be our leaders. That would be truly a stable genius US of A setting a great example as the leader of the world.
What happens when most of the vehicles on the road are electric, and are also fully controllable by law enforcement, are hackable, are restricted from accessing certain roads, and can be disabled when the “grid” goes down? Scary thought. Ironically, we’d probably be wishing we had a gas powered vehicle at that point. I love the idea and the technology, but unfortunately there is tons of room in the future for it to be exploited in dark ways, and can be used to really lessen our freedom.
Interesting...to some of us having technology that prevents our car getting stolen is a big help. Also the grid did go down in my city for days and i was able to idle in my electric car and charge my phone from it. I could go to a friends with solar panels on their roof and charge up my car no problem.
You are thinking properly, and should see these Authoritarian Controls, Rules, Laws Regulations, already in place and are actually illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional. In addition there are two major concerns about every EV. There is not sufficient infrastructure in place, planned or will be developed properly to support the intended EV switch within the "New Green Deal", UN Agenda", Globalist/Elite Plan-Agenda. Yes, Your extension of the use, misuse, abuse of these fully controlled vehicles are certainly within the Authoritarian Control Plan. Also, the production of electrical energy is never properly ascertained, assessed, evaluated, within the concern, plan, development, etc. Also these EV designs alone are lacking the possible use of electrical energy conversion, thus stored within the vehicle, which could have exterior solar panels, better regeneration, wind turbines, and small ICE using hydrogen, ethanol, methanol, and other renewable energy fuels that have minimal to zero emissions. A truly well thought out, design will include all together. Also the production of the storage batteries are significant issues from the rare metals required, to durability, longevity and storage capacity. Clearly more so, With Elon Musk as the head, publicity of his plan which fits with the "Green Plan Agenda" of the UN, EU, etc. this proves he is just another member or tentacle of the Globalist/Elite Cabal. When We add the other aspects, areas of his involvement from Space-X, micro-chip human implantation, then We see more certain Globalist/Elite Cabal connection and implementation within their Authoritarian Agenda. The development of this Giga-Plant in Shanghai is another clear, obvious indication of the connection of Elon Musk and Tesla with the UN, Globalist/Elite Cabal Agenda. Add also the next larger Tera-Plant in Germany in process of building and soon to be operational in the coming year. WE all have very serious infringement of the Individual Rights and Freedoms within the US Constitution, and Germany's Constitution, perhaps others that have them [many to most do not]. The Elimination, invalidation, declaration, legal decisions, ruling of the many illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional legislation need to be challenged and sued in the Supreme Court, thus decided as Unconstitutional, null and void. Then, perhaps the individual Rights and Freedoms will return to the People, and the Federal, State, County, City, Local Governments, Legislation, Legislators, including every Enforcement Agency and official in the USA, will be forced to act, behave, follow, abide according to the US Constitution. Sincerely
Most modern vehicles going back to the early 90s already have electronics in the engine anyways. If there was ever an EMP, all cars ev and gas would be rendered useless instantly. You'd have to go back to the 60s and later to find any cars that don't have any electronics in them other than maybe the radio.
Expensive af, luckily that doesn't happen often, though. The battery was my main concern when I was buying my Volt, but it turns out they're pretty solid and have a lot of safeguards built in to keep it alive. As I'm sure the Teslas do, as well.
@@paulburns1896 no thanks i prefer petrol. I have petrol and continue to buy one until i am forced not to...or vw makes a decent Electric car....try the mirai ....
@@akashsarma8241 "Gas game-over" 😂 yeah, like everybody on planet earth wants an EV. These EVegans can't wrap their heads around the fact that some people preffer gas over electrics, and that most people can't afford spending 1 hour at least charging the stupid thing every 200 miles in a trip, and not to mentiong the fact that owning a down-to-earth car, like a corolla, is much more cheaper in every way than owning and using the cheapest Tesla. Plus there's still no sufficient nationwide infraestructure to make Teslas a practical everyday choice for most. They might work just fine for a few people here and there, when the car meets their specific needs. Processing all that makes musketers' heads shortcircuit
@Paul Slana yep Tbf Many have reached long ranges now before an exchange was needed and many guarantees for the batteries are longer. And a new motor or transmission costs 5k + as well. For a car with that kinda hp you can pay 10 k for a motor Would be interesting to see the first few stats on what the upkeep of evs like tesla costs in comparison to a traditional car... It not needing oil, filters, that many brakes, all these motor parts, upkeep of transmission etc. I actually dont think its more or much more expensive and its still relatively new tech and will come down in price further
weird because there are people still driving their original model S where i live and have no problems…. …and those cars are fairly old now! Owners still love them!
@@word42069 still, its quite well known that all battery cars loose capacity just like phones aswell So they loose Range Over time that makes for bad second hand cars

It needs a minimum of 250 miles. I live on a big island with few charging ports.
Hawaii sounds very expensive, but is the most beautiful and exotic slice of the USA. On the mainland, I'd need 500 miles and preferably 800 just to know I can drive anywhere without being stranded or suffering in anxiety and fear about a lack of helpful services and infrastructure. There are still rural gaps in the grid so it still only makes sense as a local city car while most drivers have a gas vehicle. I wish we could go solar and not be solely dependent on the aging power grid powered by the smoky dinosaur fuel. Those shiny new Tesla cars looks so great and not a bit of smoke nor dripping oil and antifreeze is the case. I'm so tired of wading through parking lots full of oil and antifreeze while breathing the funk just tracking that in which why everything is so filthy. They did really well European countries on cleaning up the mess, redefining living standards, and making things work better with set industry standards, but we can't seem to figure it out here where we can't seem to even agree on plug standards.

...You mean Australia?
How big is the island?
Honestly, I’d be fine with a 100-mile vehicle, charged at home daily. The average American drives less than 60-miles a day. A bus, train, or plane is cheap enough for long distance travel.
@@UltimateGattai makes sense to me lol

@That1Mexican You should be stopping at least every two hours. Driving 5 hours straight is borderline negligent. Against every damn driving manual in the world.
I actually had never heard that, makes me think back to the 12 hour trip with one stop or the 20 hour drive from Colorado to Texas with a few stops, but both mostly overnight. Won’t do that again😅
I be down I don't do cars
It’s now starting at 25k. The design reminds me of a wider 2020 Chevy Sonic. I dunno but definitely NOT the gas killer that it’s rumored to be.
It is a borderline budget car with an electric drivetrain, so if they can get the range up to 200 miles the lower operating costs and maintenance would make it a serious competitor for cheap cars like the Chevy Sonic which is where EVs need to be competitive to dominate the market.
There is only a 'Gas Killer' in the minds, thinking, mindset of the ignorant, and Globalist/Elite Cabal.
It is for Authoritarian Control alone.
Sincerely
I would buy one in a heartbeat for this price.
That’s the point!

Depending on the range yes
I'll buy 2 just because. If ones dies go get the other
@@benjamingreen9540 Needs a 500 mile range before I'll even consider it.

Given that Tesla sells every $40k+ model that they can produce it would be very difficult to meet the battery and sales demand for a 25k or less vehicle. Many would buy and flip the cars until demand is met. Knowing Tesla though they would probably start with a 40k performance version before offering a long range or base model.
Which is exactly why a demand-side tax credit is throwing good money after bad.
@@kevinkent6351 Tesla doesn’t have the tax credit anymore though.
@@rathelmmc3194 right, but the proposal is to add it back.
@@kevinkent6351, yeah that’s ridiculous. Tesla is profitable so the point has been proven that EVs can stand on their own. The whole credit should be removed from all manufacturers at this point.
There's a battery race going on right now. Batteries will not be a problem in two years
It would be really cool if future vehicles could be modular, such that when the technology is available for a longer range it could be installed easily.
Thats good thinking Chloe', and dare we say "responsible and sustainable?" If EV makers were truly as virtuous as they want us to believe, they would do just as you say..make them modular with batteries that dont cost $20k+ to swap out when the original wont hold anywhere near full range anymore. Unfortunately, planned obsolesence is built into all mainstream consumer goods these days, including cars.
@@jbm0866 average person owns a car 3 years...so stop with the whining, with gas savings? You could own for near zero cost if you drive enough...
@@andrefecteau Maybe I should front a start up business...like the old phone disposal kiosks in Malls, expect this will be for disposable electric cars. Battery no longer holds a full charge and infotainment system outdated? Drop it off with me, I'l give you a prepaid card with $200 on it and you can be on your way to the nearest dealership! What part of what I said offends you...do you work in the planned obsolesence department of your company? I'd also like a link for your "average of 3 years"...that might be in your country, but for this one it's closer to 8 years and getting longer each time a survey is done. If an EV battery is still capable of 90% of it's range when new at 8 years..that could either be no big deal if the car started with a 400 mile range, or very big deal if it's a low cost EV that started with a range of 150 miles or so. But once again, thats country dependent..I live in Texas where I can drive in virtually the same direction for 9+ hours without leaving the state or doubling back. Oh, and as for savings vs filling up with regular fuel? That depends on several factors..one is the price per gallon, second is how much free time you have to use slower charging which is cheaper than fast charging. Several independent car journalists in the US found that EV's are actually a bit more expensive at this point in time..and electricity charges per kilowatt hour are rising and have been for some time now...faster than gas prices.
@@jbm0866 blah blah, there are people waaay ahead of you on the recycling game...did you have an Iphone day one? I did...it sucked, but look at it now? This is the same...study history or be history

200 miles enough for me. I'm here for the price and ACCELERATION
I dont think the acceleration gonna be something astonishing
Since they will be taking out from the specs to make it cheaper
Eh 200 miles gets tough sometimes but I think its a good idea
200 miles on paper is like 160 irl, and then you get drain while you're at work. It would be tge minimum you need and you'd need to charge every single night
@@dealornodealproductions7314 Agree. They need to put transmission like Porshe did on their electric cars.
@@dealornodealproductions7314 My M3 LR has 350 something miles range total. They recommend charging it to 80% normally so that's about 280 or so miles. Granted, you do lose some range at work which is @ 1 mile per hour if you have sentry mode turned on but it's MUCH less if you leave that turned off. If you want to go on a road trip, you can charge it to 100% and have at it (or let the onboard map route you to the nearest charger etc.).
And yes, they also recommend leaving it plugged in whenever you're not driving but it's not a big deal. You get home, grab the cord, push the button to open the charge port flap, stick it in, done. You can even schedule charging so it happens in the middle of the night when it's cheaper. You can also tell the car to warm up or cool off before you set off for work or home. It's awesome! Fancy a biscuit during the morning commute? Zero guilt while NOT idling in the drive thru lane. =D
I have a Y and love it. However, as more and more Tesla's flood the market (along with every other EV coming out), the charging ability and network to support them charging on the go will have to exponentially increase. No one wants to drive 15 miles out of their way, and or wait 20 minutes to hook up. Recharging has to become as ubiquitous and easy as filling up a tank of gas. Many of us have home chargers that can do the trick overnight, but not everyone is based at home all the time and getting and keeping a charge while out of your home base might be the new range anxiety.
You got it all right, man!
New range anxiety? Sure sounds like plain old range anxiety to me...

It would sell very well in Europe, where smaller hatchbacks are still very popular. A Tesla going head to head with the VW id3 would really shake up the market, and hopefully bring down the prices of EVs over here.

Even with no tax credit at all, $25000 for a "barebones" Tesla is a game changer.
Indeed, I've already decided to buy it for less than 30k, without tax credit. I'll leave IC car once and for all.
Without the tax credit its almost exactly 7k over everything in its category.
@TEC Man 96 most of these people are just talking out their rear-end; they can't buy a 5 year old used car for half the $25K, but it's "a thang" to talk Tesla for them.
You are right, Chevy is better buy than Tesla, and so will Ford very soon.
e-Mustang is too pricey, but it isn't targeted to the same demographics. But other Ford electrics are in the pipeline.
Ford built the infrastructure for gas powered vehicles with demand by selling model Ts for less than the equivalent of $10,000 in today's money. $25,000 for a base model entry level car is still not cheap.
If you want to change the world, make it cheaper to do it the new way.
well being a new Bolt owner this year with about 250 mile range is great for a 200 mile round trip, but out west i will still need my gas vehicle to go the 500 mile one way trip. I do not see a charge in 15 minutes like a gas fill up. Can you see an EV truck with a camper on it crossing a large mountain range.
I personally want you to be right. But, once concern I have is the supercharger network. $25K is very affordable and without enough charging stations, recharging would be a nightmare, longer wait lines can cause chaos on long weekends. People with garage might be in a better spot but, condos, apartments have just 2 - 3 charging ports now. I believe that would not be sufficient.
This is not going to be a problem if we can get used to the idea of charging at 120v or 220v overnight. There's plenty of juice to go around and easy access -- even apartment complexes have electricity -- as long as we don't all expect to charge at 800v all the time.
I worry about it too Kiran, that new supercharger factory is going to help but being able to drive cross country and not wait in line to then wait while charging is so nice and a massive advantage to having a tesla
@edwong3 hopefully! I hope you are right. as a future Tesla owner, I'm excited.
Charge stations will not necessarily function like gas stations. In South Africa when driving cross country, certain towns, more or less halfway, are popular refueling stops. In stead of stopping once, split your journey in 3, recharge more often with shorter stops and like say 80% charges and avoid lengthy stops.
A golf-sized Tesla is my dream car. I’m out of my lease with my Leaf this summer. Looking at the current options available, I may just wait a while...
Definitely a major goal!!
@Jason yes the Id3 has been top of my list since it was announced, but recent reviews of budget interior (by VW standards) crappy efficiency and poor Ui have dampened my enthusiasm a bit. But I still plan to take a test drive and see for myself 🙂
@Jason the id3 has terrible software, so its not really comparable.
@Jason also, as an id3 alternative (and I fully appreciate I’m prone to the Osborne effect here) I’m REALLY looking forward to the IONIC 5 reveal tomorrow - expectations unrealistically high for that!!
@Jason European made is the best quality, but very expensive and tricky to maintain their overseas markets like the USA the classic bug was a huge success here though the new one sucked. Are EV's like that low maintenance, don't require oil changes, and just keep going as long as one doesn't hit or get hit? I heard Teslas are guaranteed 1 million miles which is phenomenally good. It's the $10k or $20k battery replacement is why buying one used doesn't make sense. A new Cyber truck would be absolutely fabulous to get this Christmas far more than any luxury gas unless a Lambo super car were a dream come true.
I've finally reached a place in my life where I could actually afford a Tesla and I'd love to have one. However I cannot get past the right to repair issue. I do not think its ethical for Tesla to lock customers out of cars they own because they won't pay for insane overcharges on repairs. Are you listening Tesla?
They aren't listening
Well put. No matter how well meaning the fanboys and PR is, at the end of the day, you’re completely reliant on them for any and all support 99% of the time. Terrible.
It’s the mileage on a single charge that will decide the outcome. They try selling us city cars, when we want one car for everything like we have now !!
I watched another YT video that said, based on surveys, that there were 3 main obstacles to widespread EV adoption:
- price (sub $36k) - you can get EV's there now
- range (over 300 miles) - you can get very close to this right now
- recharge (under 30 minutes, full charge) = this is the issue
[and the numbers above aren't exact but they are close enough to make recalling them easier]
So yes you can get a sub $36k EV, but it won't have anywhere near 300 mile range, and you can get nearly 300 mile range but the EV will cost much more than $36k AND NEITHER of these will have such a short recharge time. Right now it's basically impossible given current battery technology; even under the most ideal of conditions for an M3 and a V3 charger, it can give you 75 miles in 5 minutes, but only if your current state of charge is low and only for that short period of time - beyond that charging slows significantly due to chemical and physical restraints of the battery technology. The video I reference then goes on to erroneously state that charging to 50% twice under 30 minutes total is the same as charging from 0 to 100% under 30 minutes at once (totally wrong).
Solid state batteries are supposed to be able to charge very quickly, but have limited recharge cycles meaning you'd need some sort of battery swap program. They're also lighter, so you can pack more onto a car to increase range without the incremental loss in range (e.g. you can add range by adding batteries, but these are batteries that are heavy and merely by adding them reduce the range of the existing batteries, so it's a game of diminishing returns).
@@bairdjc Latest Hyundai Ioniq 5 can charge from 15 to 80% in 20 minutes, but it requires a 220kW DC charge point. Five of those at a gas station and you're gulping over a megawatt.

@@bairdjc There is a decent chance that the IONIQ 5 might be able to deliver on all three counts, if the more optimistic rumours come true. Pricing is set to be between $30k and $40k, making it likely that the long range, rear wheel drive version will be available at around the $36k. Hyundai says it will do 292 miles, but as owners of Hyundai EVs will tell you their cars often deliver more miles than the EPA/WLTP ratings indicate making 300 miles possible for most. The IONIQ 5 is said to be able to go from 10 % to 80 % in 18 minutes, if plugged into a 350 kW CCS charger, which would mean that it in most cases will be able to charge enough to go for at least another two hours before needing to recharge again.
Solid state will be nice, when they arrive, however as the IONIQ 5 proves the current available technology can also deliver what is needed.

Having a compact car is excellent. If it so good for Tesla to build one. It would be greatly appreciated.
I think you're right about the price point and dates, but a model 2 with a LFP battery and 200 mile range is not model over for gas models. Range needs to be 250+.
very few people commute 100 miles each way, also most people have to stop to pee at about 125 miles ish, range anxst is old old propaganda
@@JohnC-iv8jo Good point. My motto is if the range of the car is longer than my bladder range, I'm good :) Unfortunately, most people that are new to EVs don't see it that way.
As long as it has Tesla features, enough space for me to function normally, and has enough range for me to go through at least like 3 days of use without a charge, I'm more than happy with paying half the price of a model 3
Maybe too small for me, model 2, but great idea for younger people, I am more interested in range. When I find 500miles at reasonable price, I will buy👍🏼
most (not all) gasoline cars have a 250-300 mile range before needing to fill up. Since it is easier to get electricity (we all have it) than gas.... why would you wait for a 500 mile range vehicle?? Seems silly when you could start saving all your gasoline dollars now!!
@@dontshark910 Because more range = less stops for charging.
Far from game over. 🙄 When it takes 2 mins to charge the battery, then it will truly be game over. Until then, people in the US still need a long distance option.
We still need other things for it to be "game over". The power grid will have to be vastly expanded; battery degradation over time wil need to be controlled so that these vehicles can be bought used after 15 years and still have usable range; and they will have to have been on the market for that long for people to be able to buy a 15 year old EV for $5,000.
Charging infrastructure will have to expand geometrically as well. Right now a gas station can refuel a car every 3-4 minutes with one pump. To match current capacity with chargers, even if we get to the point where you can fully recharge in 15 minutes, there will have to be 4-5 times the number of charging stations as there currently are pumps. This means more and bigger "gas" stations, a lot more.
Oh, and the government subsidies will have to go.
@@Gyppor Totally agree. I just bought a used 330e PHEV. For now, I think that ticks most boxes inside London. Full charge gets me ~25m of range with no need for petrol. When I need to do a longer trip, the ICE is well up to the task and can also recharge the battery. We are a long ways away from completely sacking off the ICE whether Govt's want to admit it or not. That being said, I certainly wouldnt buy a new diesel right about now.
@@WillowGTI I think the PHEVs are the way to go, honestly. It's a good way to gradually introduce electrics. Full on EVs rely on a large battery to achieve long ranges, and large batter = $$$$ when it comes time to replace.
Your 25 mile battery is surely quite small and could be replaced for MUCH less than a 100Kwh model S battery. That car is suprisingly inexpensive too, I just looked it up and it honestly looks promising. 25 miles will get a lot of people to work and back.

- Excellent visibility. (When I turn my head, I need to see more road than interior.)
I don't need:
- A huge center console (I need to be able to reach the wheel from the passenger side.)
- Autonomy... I mean, I'm teaching people to drive, so they gotta drive.
- A big screen with video games and stuff. I don't even need navigation.

VISIBILITY VISIBILITY VISIBILITY!
I'll take the first EV that has what I need if it's under $30K. Hopefully that's Tesla.

Why don’t you teach your students how to drive with navigation? People rarely drive without navigation these days.
@@Engineer9736 That has nothing to do with driving safely, which is what I'm paid to teach. We use Garmins.

So I love your enthusiasm, but I would be truly surprised if any of this would be happening. But hope I am wrong, it would be nice to have Tesla entering the affordable car market, not only the luxury one.
Yah I think they have their head way in the sand. It will probably not have a lot of range or charge very fast. Or the battery won't last long. I'll believe it when I see it.
@@mrwhips3623 yeah, something like that, but I wouldn't be worry about battery life, LFP is actually more durable than what Tesla is topically using. My issue is more with the price. If Tesla could do a cheap body they would be already milking this cow. I love what Elon has achieved, but in my opinion there is a reason why it takes decades to became a car maker. To make the car cheap, you need to finetoone the process and shave off the cost bit by bit. In fact, the body of the car is more than half of the price, despite evryone thinks it's the battery. Until Tesla figures out how to make cheap body they can not make an affordable car. This is where I think Tesla is far behind the OEMs. All the rest Tesla is dominating.

As he makes more and more money, he reinvests in his companies which is why they're seeing new development and growth so there's a big hope America is to be fully redeveloped for the high tech era which already needed to be done. He's our only one super star visionary CEO!
No, because there will be a lot more superchargers, genius.
@@seybertooth9282We are the, 'unstable genius,' even though we no longer have the, 'stable genius,' as president. Yes, their will be more super chargers and locations for Elon Musk is a great CEO that actually reinvests profits back into his companies to furhter develop them and actually get it to Mars in probably 10 years from now. He's a real American dreamer and our only visionary CEO for none of the others actually put profit back into infrastructure and things for us to thrive from. We need more Elon Musk types to be our leaders. That would be truly a stable genius US of A setting a great example as the leader of the world.
What happens when most of the vehicles on the road are electric, and are also fully controllable by law enforcement, are hackable, are restricted from accessing certain roads, and can be disabled when the “grid” goes down? Scary thought. Ironically, we’d probably be wishing we had a gas powered vehicle at that point. I love the idea and the technology, but unfortunately there is tons of room in the future for it to be exploited in dark ways, and can be used to really lessen our freedom.
Agenda 21in swing. New world order is their goal with ev too
Hence why they didn't want to go down the cleaner hydrogen route.
Can't hack Hydrogen. 🤔
Interesting...to some of us having technology that prevents our car getting stolen is a big help. Also the grid did go down in my city for days and i was able to idle in my electric car and charge my phone from it. I could go to a friends with solar panels on their roof and charge up my car no problem.
You are thinking properly, and should see these Authoritarian Controls, Rules, Laws Regulations, already in place and are actually illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional.
In addition there are two major concerns about every EV. There is not sufficient infrastructure in place, planned or will be developed properly to support the intended EV switch within the "New Green Deal", UN Agenda", Globalist/Elite Plan-Agenda.
Yes, Your extension of the use, misuse, abuse of these fully controlled vehicles are certainly within the Authoritarian Control Plan.
Also, the production of electrical energy is never properly ascertained, assessed, evaluated, within the concern, plan, development, etc.
Also these EV designs alone are lacking the possible use of electrical energy conversion, thus stored within the vehicle, which could have exterior solar panels, better regeneration, wind turbines, and small ICE using hydrogen, ethanol, methanol, and other renewable energy fuels that have minimal to zero emissions.
A truly well thought out, design will include all together.
Also the production of the storage batteries are significant issues from the rare metals required, to durability, longevity and storage capacity.
Clearly more so, With Elon Musk as the head, publicity of his plan which fits with the "Green Plan Agenda" of the UN, EU, etc. this proves he is just another member or tentacle of the Globalist/Elite Cabal. When We add the other aspects, areas of his involvement from Space-X, micro-chip human implantation, then We see more certain Globalist/Elite Cabal connection and implementation within their Authoritarian Agenda.
The development of this Giga-Plant in Shanghai is another clear, obvious indication of the connection of Elon Musk and Tesla with the UN, Globalist/Elite Cabal Agenda.
Add also the next larger Tera-Plant in Germany in process of building and soon to be operational in the coming year.
WE all have very serious infringement of the Individual Rights and Freedoms within the US Constitution, and Germany's Constitution, perhaps others that have them [many to most do not]. The Elimination, invalidation, declaration, legal decisions, ruling of the many illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional legislation need to be challenged and sued in the Supreme Court, thus decided as Unconstitutional, null and void.
Then, perhaps the individual Rights and Freedoms will return to the People, and the Federal, State, County, City, Local Governments, Legislation, Legislators, including every Enforcement Agency and official in the USA, will be forced to act, behave, follow, abide according to the US Constitution.
Sincerely
Most modern vehicles going back to the early 90s already have electronics in the engine anyways.
If there was ever an EMP, all cars ev and gas would be rendered useless instantly. You'd have to go back to the 60s and later to find any cars that don't have any electronics in them other than maybe the radio.
Do you think the Model 2 will be a single motor, FWD only version?
Definitely single motor as standard most likely fwd, they'll likely offer dual motor long distance and performance models to upsell
I'm worried about Hmm much is gonna cost replace the batteries if they go bad
Expensive af, luckily that doesn't happen often, though. The battery was my main concern when I was buying my Volt, but it turns out they're pretty solid and have a lot of safeguards built in to keep it alive. As I'm sure the Teslas do, as well.
This is the car I've been waiting for. For the last 50 years!
🤣🤣🤣 there was its called a corolla
@@akashsarma8241 ICE is dead. But maybe Toyota can come up with an Corolla EV...
@@paulburns1896 no thanks i prefer petrol. I have petrol and continue to buy one until i am forced not to...or vw makes a decent Electric car....try the mirai ....
@@akashsarma8241 you hit the nail in the head.
@@akashsarma8241 "Gas game-over" 😂 yeah, like everybody on planet earth wants an EV. These EVegans can't wrap their heads around the fact that some people preffer gas over electrics, and that most people can't afford spending 1 hour at least charging the stupid thing every 200 miles in a trip, and not to mentiong the fact that owning a down-to-earth car, like a corolla, is much more cheaper in every way than owning and using the cheapest Tesla. Plus there's still no sufficient nationwide infraestructure to make Teslas a practical everyday choice for most. They might work just fine for a few people here and there, when the car meets their specific needs. Processing all that makes musketers' heads shortcircuit
Limitless products/fields he can disrupt that's why THEY dont like him.
I don’t really wanna have his shit forced on me
Or from similar companies
He's too wealthy. And folx out here starving.
What usually happens when a few have it all, while eeerbody else hawngry?
When those vehicles factory warranty expire prepare your pocket to pay for high expenses
@Paul Slana yep
Tbf
Many have reached long ranges now before an exchange was needed and many guarantees for the batteries are longer.
And a new motor or transmission costs 5k + as well.
For a car with that kinda hp you can pay 10 k for a motor
Would be interesting to see the first few stats on what the upkeep of evs like tesla costs in comparison to a traditional car...
It not needing oil, filters, that many brakes, all these motor parts, upkeep of transmission etc.
I actually dont think its more or much more expensive and its still relatively new tech and will come down in price further
weird because there are people still driving their original model S where i live and have no problems…. …and those cars are fairly old now! Owners still love them!
@@word42069 still, its quite well known that all battery cars loose capacity just like phones aswell
So they loose Range
Over time that makes for bad second hand cars
My $11,000 gas engine car gets 350mile range on one tank of gas. Takes about 2mins to fill up at the pump and has very common parts for easy parts replacements
