Yes we need hybrid or Electric Cars
although this particular car was under warranty until 100k it shows what replacement costs could be. Just well buy another car instead of repairing. Giving new meaning to throw away cars...

I'm an old fart from the era of "if men were meant to fly they'd be born with wings" generation. But I gotta say any company with the guys with the brains to be able to build a family 4 door sedan grocery getter like the Tesla Model S Plaid that has 0 to 60 times in under 2 seconds is way out there. That's unreal That's coming out of the hole faster than NHRA superstock and not far off of the Pro Stock times. Superstock is running at the low 10s in the quarter mile and the Tesla Model S Plaid with groceries and kids in the back is running the quarter under 9 seconds. If you've never been to a drag strip let me tell ya that is scary times. All wheel drive and little sister driving while eating her ice cream cone just blew away a superstock dodge driving with one hand while reaching over and wiping the babies face. It's unreal to me.
All the expensive European sports cars would have a hard time seeing the taillights of the Model S Plaid at the end of the quarter mile and the Plaid is about $300,000 cheaper than the exotic European sports cars.
For people that still want the sound of a hot car they have speakers to make it sound like a formula 1 or an old hotrod or any of the popular race car sounds.

I'm afraid people that buy these EV vehicles are in for a rude awakening:
There is no current way to dispose of , recycle, or get rid of these batteries.
Most likely they will be sitting around for the next 100 years out in the Nevada desert.
Good luck with that.

They'll eventually improve the batteries and prices will come down. I just read today they are concentrating on recycling the batteries more now. It's coming no matter how much us old geezers don't like it.

The bad part about all the EV talk, everything is going to be made over seas, some things will be assembled here maybe at first. The only real fact I can say about an EV is I’ll never buy one, their just not my style. Maybe if they build one that would resemble say a old 66 or 67 Chevelle and sound, perform and feel like it had a built up 427 in it, maybe, but until then no.

select-fire, I checked with my brother today. He owns a Tesla which he bought 2 years ago. Great car he is quite fond of it, drives it every day.
I asked what a battery would cost, he said that, today a new battery would be $28,500. I guess your invoice is not fake, after all.

Not at all.
I was only singling out a batteries versus gallons comparison. Besides, everyone's mileage may vary.
Heck.......according to the "greenies", charging electrons are free. Perhaps they use "The Force ".
Sadly........for them, and many others.......the coming year will prove otherwise. Especially for our friends in Europe.

My son is selling Fire Trucks and one of the trucks they have is electric and the replacement cost for the batteries after 10 years is currently $300,000

Best not to buy an electric if you live in CA. They don't have the electricity capacity to handly the current demand. Now I see they are asking EV owners not to charge between 1800-2100 hrs.
