“IOW, I won’t be buying one.”
I wonder how the misguided people who bought a new one can get any value out of it when it is time to trade it in.
I wouldn’t buy a new one but who would buy a used one? No one I think.
At the end of the video the kid said that he wouldn't buy another electric vehicle because even if he had chose to replace the battery that the car would have no trade-in value after 8 years. I am not sure how he was figuring but he now has more first-hand experience than I do.
Just as a side note... my wife and I live near the foothills, and we have more windstorms than most areas nearby along with poorly maintained roads with huge potholes and bad pavement. There is always some type of debris laying in the middle of the road that has been hit 20 times before we try to drive around it. No one in their right mind should be driving a low to the road heavy electric car in our area, but people still do. We have an old Dodge police interceptor that we drive only when we are headed straight to the State Highway because it has a harsh ride.
