Drive a Tesla a lot and use fast chargers/superchargers? It'll only last 120k miles.

[kusok]

Yeah bro, I'm totally sponsored by Ford and GM lol

No, but you’re under the influence of their big advertisement cawk.

Do you get that you can’t have the best selling car in the world that blows up, dies, and costs a fortune? You have to see the bias in the media.

[kusok]

That doesn't sound very practical for a lot of people.

Remember, a solution for everyone needs to work for everyone, not just some select people with an ideal situation.

It’s the most practical solution for most people to charge at home. No gas station and nearly free. Car charges while you sleep.

[kusok]

Damn
Someone bought tesla stock
At a all time high price

Bro… at all time high you sell calls, you don’t fookin buy LOL

[AlwaysFocus]

Hybrid baby. Charge that chit at 120v, dont care if I charge at all.

Going to 500k kms. U mad?

[Visel]

To be fair, 120k miles would last me a long arse time as someone who is WFH and uses ubers for most vacations (flying instead of long road trips). I'd probably be fine for 13-15 years, srs.

But obviously this isn't ideal anyways, you want the car to be at least close to functional for resale value when you upgrade down the road.

As a rentcel, I'd have to pay extra to get a garage with charging capabilities.

[Godfrd824]

So he bought the car for $53k, saved $10k by not needing gas, but then ended up having to pay $9k for a refurbished battery that only gets him 85% of the car's range when it was new. And he is also scared to charge it more than 80% now as well, lest the battery die again.

This is kinda like when rentcels say they'll invest the difference.

[ChinkWithDink]

Just imagine BLM rioting in your city and you can't evacuate your family cause you gotta find a charging station.

No responsible man should ever give up his ICE vehicles.

Isn't this what all the assault rifles are for?

JFL @ runawaycels

[Ratfish]

even if anthropogenic climate change were real, which is most certainly is not, EVs don't even beat ICE cars on CO2 (which is essential for life on earth btw) until about 150K

since they don't make it that far, lmao

[Jasonw1178]

Sure there are the anti-tesla, anti-EV people, but the worst of the worst are the Tesla Fanbois. Most of them don't even own a Tesla but they love to talk about how amazing they are.

Know something about the batteries? Do you know how they are constructed? Do you know what happens when batteries are charged, and discharged especially rapidly? Do you understand how electricity works? Do you understand how conductors, semiconductors, and insulation works? Do you understand what that leads to? So many "engineers" on the misc, so many in "tech" jobs. Lets see if anyone can explain.

Someone find me the example of a car averaging 100k miles a year that does hold up....

Bruh, there's people driving Honda's and Toyota's with a million miles lol

[Jasonw1178]

Diesel trucks especially the semi's. Even light duty vehicles, 100K a year they are find but you will rack up a lot of miles fast. Actual hours may be much lower than a vehicle is 1/3rd it miles.

[kusok]

It’s the next day. Come on misc!


Where is some thread about how a guy in a Tesla got squeezed to death by a seat that started sliding forward by itself and mashed the driver into a steering wheel and he died?

Or maybe you can dig up some news story about how a Tesla ran over a puppy in a driveway by itself several times? Then went to a car wash by itself to hide the blood on its tires?

[ymer]

kusok has a big position on TSLA.

just lol @ going all in into the market at ATH

wtf? auto pilot? they dont think bro I dont think that happened. not the car wash part. maybe with a driver.

[Maestro]

Brutal for Teslacels. Uber driver put 120K miles on their Tesla, and the batteries are now kaput! Said they use fast chargers/superchargers often (because they didn't have all day to wait around for their car to charge, time is money). Car couldn't even last a year and a half lol.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news...hs/ar-AA1ju3rO

Jesus christ he ran that thing hard! 120k miles (of stop and go city traffic) in 15 months doing Uber?

Unless its a base model Honda or Toyota, no modern day ICE would be able to handle that abuse. Older cars may be able to handle it, but the rule is your car cannot be older than 5 years old to drive for Uber. Instead of the battery dying, it would be the transmission.

Oddly enough he probably saved a lot of time and money in the long run not having to get oil changes and deal with gas prices.

??? Ath you sell calls, you don’t buy.

Now is a good dip buy by the way. $220 for a $450 stock.

[ChinkWithDink]

People arguing ICE vs EV are like sports fans arguing over whose team is better. Only the teams play different sports.

There are applications where EVs make significantly more sense and there are applications where they will never be able to match ICE.

[gluon]

every Toyota/Lexus v8 vehicle

their other motors last a long time, but the v8's run so cool they are essentially timeless. but ICE cars don't really care about miles/year , its oxidation of plastic and rubber that gets them in the end, and thats more of an age factor than mileage

[Trillical]

Those cars would never be as efficient as a Toyota Corolla or Camry.

[kusok]

Hmmm…. Are you sure you understand the word efficient? Because one of these uses oil and gas, and the other uses nothing except a few cents of electricity. Camry even costs more than model 3. No comparison in cargo or performance or crash safety rating either.

Speaking of efficient. Do you think you can let go of your steering wheel in your Toyota and read a newspaper or eat or sleep as we all have seen Tesla drivers do behind the wheel? Try it and report back with results.

[leoaa777]

Big honking dumb V8 crew. Will probably get a Tesla for the wife but will always keep my Toyota truck.

[kusok]

Investigation concluded that the fire was not caused by an electric car.

Gasoline cars catch on fire twice as often statistically.

Be careful before sucking the big oil and ICE car makers advertisement cawk.

Just dump your TSLA stock while you're still at a small loss, it will not go to the moon, 2024 will be hell for your portfolio.

[greenleaf]

120k miles?

I’ve never in my life owned a car past 60k miles.

^This. Anyone who spends that much time and miles driving the same car has given up on life.

[5kGold]

So many electric cars that go way above that milage.

Pathetic you believe sensational headlines. Sad.

[Ironmanlet]

Probably been said but the average mileage of an American is around 10K/year


lol at trying to say people are putting 120K miles on a vehicle in a year and a half.


Insurance would be prohibitively expensive for someone who does food delivery

[Cudabrah]

So dude puts 120K on a car in 15 months, and has to spend 8k on a new battery.

If that is the only maintenance he has done, I'd say he is still way ahead.


He is using the car in a worst case environment. Driving it constant all day, so having to rapid charge. Don't really see how this is a knock against Tesla.


It's almost like any vehicle (ICE or EV) isn't all perfect for every situation.

Conservative= EV bad, liberals = EV good. Shut up and get in line.
