  • That’s still at max, 6 years of data. Am I reading that right? But, to be fair there’s no indication of a dramatic drop off, at worst that data is incomplete.

    I wouldn’t be worried about buying a brand new EVs. My problem is that I exclusively buy 3-5 year old cars because that’s the most cost effective way to buy them. So if I bought a 5 year old EV and owned it for another 5 years it’s a 10 year old EV which is the very edge of the data is be able to find. That kind of unknown is a bit unsettling along with some other personal use case issues.

    Thank you for the info though.



    1. I’m wary of any data coming from Tesla themselves.
    2. That’s kind of comparing apples and oranges. Also an engine rebuild is also considerably cheaper than battery replacements.
    3. That link sounds more theory than reality. A lot of “if” and “may” used in that article.
    4. 100,000 miles over ten years isn’t much. Reaching that amount of miles is considered less than the minimum for modern cars. And it’s only one example, I’ve seen examples of the exact opposite.
    5. How old and how many miles did the EVs you’ve owned have when you sold them?

    There’s not a ton of data on older EVs so it’s kind of hard get a clear picture on their longevity. I know they’re constantly improving and I’ll eventually get one, just not today 🤷🏻.
















  • In reality it was a gradual thing that kind of crept up over time. I said technically earlier because Desi Arnaz is “Technically” white, idk who decides where these lines are drawn, it’s definitely not me lol. William Shatner(cause that’s how he rolls I guess) also kissed actress France Nuyen (half white/half Chinese) on TV, which could also be considered first.

    The kiss between Shatner and Nichols is the first kiss between a white and black person on TV. Which if you’re a racist would probably upset you the most so it gets mentioned as the first I guess.
