My 20 year old pickup will still be on the road when that EV is scrapped lol
EV exists:
Nah just trying to save folks from wasting their money. ALL new cars are junk, gas or EV
EV is just a scam meant to bail the car industry out for a few more years
You sound bitter. Probably from wasting all that time at the gas pump.
My EV will be in the garage because its not out of gas
Or on fire in the garage and no way to put it out ha
The majority of early EV fires were from a single battery factory accidentally placing battery terminals too close together. This affected only Chevy Bolts, and has been fixed with a recall.
Even including this data, combustion engine cars are over 60 times more likely to catch fire than EVs (1,529.9 fires per 100,000 vehicles for ICE vs 25.1 for EV).
It looks like you're the one who might need to start carrying around a fire extinguisher, just in case.
Iโm pretty confident that if your vehicle caught fire you wouldnโt be able to put it out either way
Pavement princess spotted
It has more scratches than paint but it's mechanically sound
My 15 year old EV is still driving like new. I had the battery replaced last month, not because the battery didn't work, but because newer batteries have much more range and are cheap enough to be worth the upgrade. I'm planning to keep driving it for at least another 20 years.
This 100 year old EV is still driving with minimal maintenance. I don't think EVs need to be scrapped particularly quickly.
must be nice to live somewhere without salt
I wish I could keep cars more than 20 years old
Yeah I came from a salt region and moved to a no salt region and man it's incredible. My Chevy has almost no rust, totally unheard of where I come from
2004 F150 here. :)
How many harmonic balancers has that thing gone through?
Mate my music taste is brilliant. Ive never worn a stereo out yetโฆ
Triton? It's still kicking? Haha
No idea what's under the hood, never had anything under there fixed.
