EVs....NOT GREEN
The politicians want to force us into EVs so they can achieve total control over our lives.
Swap a chevy small block in there for $5000 and you’re back on the road.
Where are the idiots that only want battery driven cars?
The ChiComs want us in EVs to limit our freedom. US energy independence is a danger to ChiCom long term plans.
Great for parts.
EVs are a DEAD-END
“The ChiComs want us in EVs to limit our freedom. “
So do progressivies.
Who do you think instigates our progressives? The ChiComs....
EV pushers are doing the bidding of thr ChiComs and progressives.
They are called Communists.
Ooh. Gee. $ign me up.
EV’s are going to cost the American Taxpayer billions to reclaim, repair and support in general.
EV’s are a long-term environmental disaster.
In Karenville. A suburb in Anystate USA.
This is terribly misleading coverage. You can absolutely replace an EV battery pack. And Tesla does it frequently. The grain of truth behind this false assertion is this: Tesla will replace the entire battery pack during its 8-year warrantee. AFTER those 8 years, Tesla will not service the packs, and their service centers will instead recommend replacing the pack, which can cost up to $20,000. Most insurers are contractually obligated to use manufacturer-approved service centers, so if the value of car is less than $20,000, the car may be considered “totaled.”
HOWEVER, there ABSOLUTELY are ways that a Tesla driver can have his battery pack repaired for FAR, FAR less.
So this is strange and expensive. While it’s true that it kinda sucks, why would Tesla do this? Well, any time a Tesla catches fire, it makes global headlines. Maybe rebuilding a damaged battery pack can lead to unsafe conditions; maybe it won’t. It hasn’t been demonstrated that it does, but Tesla isn’t willing to risk their reputation based on local service centers’ repair skills.
Well! You can wrap a Tesla in a green color and then it’s green….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They can make swappable and repairable batteries. Cell phones used to have them.
But that was long ago in a time where the consumer had some pull.
