Wasting resources by the car load
Scotty knows his business.
Maybe these batteries will become useful in an off grid solar set up.
I just had a car in the body shop.
The place is crammed with wrecked Teslas. Repairing them is apparently very difficult. The first difficulty appears to be getting parts ... The Teslas just sit there looking pathetic, while the normal cars move through the system getting repaired and returned to their owners.
EVs are rich guy toys.
I know people who have hybrids who seem to like them.
Only electric vehicles on the road should be golf carts.
Many auto recyclers and wrecking yards won’t accept electric cars.
As long as she can drive it through the Starbucks line.
Governments will have a quick fix for this and call it “ Taxpayer Funds”
Lol. Clickbait Scotty again.

Scotty say never accidentally knock it into reverse and proceeds to knock it. Fail. He then presses the button to move the shift lever to R.

This is true. One of my clients is a chain of auto collision and repair centers. Tesla, Lucid, and Rivian certified.
It’s a common complaint.
Hertz car rental learned this the hard way too. They have to write down tons of asset value in part because a new Tesla is cheaper than the price they paid when they wanted to buy a fleet of them. And repairing them is much more expensive than ICE cars (though Tesla is mass produced at scale at this point). Not only damage to the battery cells, but just about any damage. Spare parts are hard to come by and replace because they are controlled by the manufacturers and in limited supply, with perhaps no after market parts suppliers in many cases. So try to replace a fender, or a tail light, or that computer screen inside, or that compartment where ash trays used to be. You have to buy original from the manufacturer.
It should work its way into higher EV insurance costs, but it will also impact ICE insurance costs because any collision that is the ICE drivers fault, their insurer will have to pay to repair the other drivers EV.
And any tiny tap damages the battery. So almost every minor fender bender totals the car.
Yet the market (and insurers) want this?
A friend was telling me about this amazing stuff they have discovered underground, he called it hydrocarbon .
It’s black and liquid.
He thinks they can maybe distill it and make liquid fuel out of it. Fuel that could be stored and shipped and power cars.
Sounds like an amazing thing.
Way better than these expensive and toxic batteries.
