I know a guy with a 8 year-old hybrid, thinks he will trade it in for a new one just before the 10 yr battery warranty expires.
Yeah, like the dealer hasn’t already got a calculation for that.
He’s going to get slaughtered.
I’m not sure the hybrid becomes useless when the battery fades. I know there’s a LOT of old Prius cars chugging around. Maybe the fuel econ falls off some but they don’t become scrap.
Notice The Bidet moved up the MPG rules. The reason is to save the environment by using less gas. IMO, it is to force people into golf carts.
