Remember when Govt tried to ban Incandescent light bulbs and subsidized mercury containing florescent bulbs?
No consumers wanted them, and they are now an environmental nightmare.
Today there are some very good LED bulbs made, and for many uses they are great.
but still they don’t keep my chickens warm or make my Lava lamp work.
“This battery is also out of warranty...8yrs/100k”
Tesla started out with an unlimited warranty on their batteries.
Then it was 8 years/250k.
Then it became 8 years/ 100k, 120k or 150k, depending upon model.
The next story gone viral will be the EV owner with a 10-year-old vehicle who CANNOT get a battery.
At least ICE vehicles retain some value 10-30 years or longer vs becoming a paperweight due to compulsory obsolescence...
...on top of a capitalistic aftermarket which keeps them running FAR longer than the manufacturer ever intended.
