So you got yourself a brand new, $70,000 subsidized electric vehicle (EV), and everyone on your block is envious. Quiet, non-polluting, cheaper to operate than a gas-powered vehicle, right?
That’s not entirely accurate. The grim fact is, you better pray your EV never breaks down. The electric vehicle manufacturers sort of forgot to train the necessary number of mechanics to service your beautiful new car, leaving you with repair costs that will be through the roof.
It seems like too obvious a detail to overlook. And it’s going to blow up the EV industry once a couple of millions of them are on the road.
EV’s are, it turns out, incredibly dangerous to work on. The electric voltage technicians work with could kill mechanics very quickly. Then there’s the fire hazard with EV batteries.
And the specialized diagnostic equipment needed to service EV’s is putting off most small, independent repair shops that experts agree are going to be needed to keep the cost of repairs and warranties down.

“One more thing; since EV’s don’t have to worry about CAFE requirements (yet),”
CAFE is related to mileage requirements and unrelated to crash standards.
“why don’t they have real bumpers with shock-absorbing protection against low-speed impacts? “
Why do you say they don’t?
“IIRC-—ONLY TESLA mechanics can work on TESLA CARS.”
You remember incorrectly.
His Nevada plant is about 23 miles north of where I live.
I have always heard that he PAID BACK EVERY LOAN HE GOT-—early & with all interest due.

Call TeslaGator to prop them up
I love it when game shows are describing a new car a contestant can win-—and they describe: A VIRTUAL BUMPER !!!
WHAT THE HELL IS A VIRTUAL BUMPER????

Wrong. I bought two hot rods with 6.2 liter V8’s one of them is supercharged. Kids from my block stop and tell me how cool they are and how loud they sound when I crank them up.
Sorry ‘bout that. It was spectacular!
I wonder how many EV’s were at the Buring Man Festival?
“Wrong. I bought two hot rods with 6.2 liter V8’s one of them is supercharged.”
Tesla S 0-60 1.98 seconds.
Mustang Mach-e 3.5 seconds
Hellcat 3.7 seconds

LOL! Tesla stock from 15 to 255 in last 5 years! And you still make fun of me!

Sometimes breaking traction is the goal:
I bought a Mazda GLC in the 1970’s. Mazda thought thru the factory and showroom part as well as the take the money part but it stopped there. It was a happy day for me the day I got rid of that piece of Biden!
“EVs Are Awesome Except When They Break Down and There’s No One to Fix Them”
No they are not.
“Sometimes breaking traction is the goal:”
All show, no go.
That video got sanitized.
Geez, if an EV fits your application fine, buy one, hell buy as many as you want.
In my application here in flyover country they would be a absolutely worthless!
