"Electric Vehicles are Actually Worse for the Environment than Internal Combustion Cars"

A bit of a Public Relations Problem??

there was a Tesla for sale on Craigslist recently that was a '13 model S with 74,000 miles. In the add the seller stated that the battery had just been changed at a cost of $22,000. Now in my mind, a 9 yr. old vehicle with only 74,000 miles shouldn't be needing a battery already and if that's an indication on how long the batteries last before needing swapped, well, that's not a very good selling point.

Could have been from accident damage. I saw a video on one that hit some debris and broke a coolant fitting off the battery. Tesla wouldn't fix it and wanted to replace the whole pack. Another shop tapped the hole and used a brass fitting.

Interesting observation

The WEF says EVs are the shit, but there isn't enough resources to make EV batteries for everyone so you all need to forget your expectation of personal vehicle ownership.

They'll get their private jets. You'll get to share a car with your neighbor.

And you'll both have to take the bus or ride a bike because the infrastructure can't support charging the EVs.

California rolling blackouts have begun. I predict violence.
