“Breitbart News recently reported on a Canadian Tesla owner who was locked out of his car unless he paid $26,000 for a new battery.”
The truth. BB reported a lie.
In before the EV Karens invade for the rescue...
Fuel cells are a much better alternative. I have even heard of fuel cells that use gasoline and even urea to power the vehicle.
Damn. I was too late.
“Butt, butt, butt........... If onstar can unlock your GM product...............”
And?
Anyone who knows what I mean by the phrase “typical German engineer” will derive some pleasure from this predicament they’ve gotten themselves into.
“In before the EV Karens invade for the rescue...”
I see you are into childish name-calling instead of factual discussions.
Batteries suck big time. It would be so easy to get stuck with a POS rated 200 mile range vehicle. Weather, Hills, so many things impact your range and you may not be able to recharge. They also add 30% to your weight, in cold weather they have to heat themselves loosing 60%+ of their range.
They spend almost as much energy fighting against themselves as they do propelling the passengers.
Batteries are such a terrible idea.
They can probably turn off your heated seats as well........ ππ
Expect a comment from texasgator.

loosing >> losing
One of several errors in your post.
Carrion Carry on, kind sir.
“Hills,”
Going downhill recharges the battery.
What is the signal to other passing cars that the battery is dead? What do you say to the driver walking down the road to get a tank of electricity? How much does an emergency battery charge cost and how long does that take? Is a tow cheaper?
“...warned the electric vehicle industry over its overreliance on a single fuel source β battery cells”
Batteries are not a fuel source.
” Canadian Tesla owner who was locked out of his car unless he paid $26,000 for a new battery.”
WTH?
β...warned the electric vehicle industry over its overreliance on a single fuel source β battery cells coalβ
Closer to the truth, right?
Everyone in the market knows this.
The point isn’t, not had it ever been, for everyone to have access to a car.
Everyone KNOWS there isn’t enough electricity. Everyone knows there aren’t enough batteries. The point is that only elites will have them.
This is why the major auto manufactures all face their doom if they switch to electric. 99% of their buyers are going to dry up.
