What’s $20k? Replacement cost?
Yep. Replacement cost. Note I own a model 3. I charge it from home solar except on long distance trips. I have more of these batteries to keep my power on when CA turns the power off. I can pretty much go off grid with the system if I want to. Please also look at my user name.. guess where they build the cars.
I haven’t found the charge times on long trips to be bad either. My cars entertainment system is great. I can stream videos, music, or play video games while charging. Most charge session are less than 30 minutes when making long distance trips.
Finally many in the thread have mentioned the fires of evs. They are hard to extinguish. However..if you look at the actual statistics..the Tesla fleet at least has fewer fires per Capita when compared to ICE vehicles.
And before you guys go off on me..I also own an f350 diesel dually. So it has more to do with driving a computer than it has to do with the environment.
