Now imagine if Teslas were made by Apple?

They are pretty decent rigs with a Chevy LS swap.

Katainen said the fix would’ve cost him upwards of €20,000 ($22,500).

We just bought a 1005 Ford Focus this past Spring for $3000 and that's the most we've ever paid for a car. There won't be any such thing as a cheap used electric car.

I’d have converted the Tesla to a V-8. It’d be a fun project for sure.

This guy is a genius. He’ll make it back if the video goes viral.

The Energizer Bunny was unavailable for comment, I suppose.

Electric vehicles are like Bic lighters, once they are out of juice you throw them away.

I’ll get my battery operated car when I decide to drive it to get a covid shot......not in the foreseeable future

They blow it up just after the 5 minute mark in video.

Electric golf kart rage, I have to laugh.

The fan boyz will be upset at the mockery.

See where the government is taking us with battery powered cars? This will be the cost of Ralph Nader influence to the nth degree. Elites . . . murderers and thieves, all of them.

I think blowing up a car would not be carbon neutral.

Owning cars will be like owning vacation homes. Most people will rent when they need one. By the minute, by the mile, by the day. Meanwhile, Tesla will be using the car for electrical power arbitration, robotaxiing, and bitcoin mining.

I think it is comparable to needing to replace an engine in an “fossil fuel” auto, just to “fix” it. The battery pack is likely a bigger cost component than the simple electric powered motor in a Tesla and that motor will likely outlast numerous battery packs. Meanwhile the batteries will likely keep getting more and more expensive.

It’s a 2013 though. That was pretty decent battery life actually. But this is why I wouldn’t buy an electric car...especially a used one.

I guess that’s what happens when you run out of invading Soviet tanks . . .
