I bought a base model 1999 AU in 2000 with 50K on the clock and it was a bloody good car.I would actually prefer an old Falcon over a Tesla.
I found the article quite interesting.The cars "still exist". what exactly does this prove. Does it just prove, the things are to expensive to get rid of? What a weird advertisement for electric cars How is the battery health, have they had new batteries?
hard earned ££ How many of the cars mentioned have Nimh versus Lithium batteries .......... What a weird meaningless article.
I can see what they are trying to insinuate ... they may even be right...... but they aren't even game enough to make a conclusion themselves
I'd concluded the same.I found the article quite interesting.
I learnt if I'd bought a much cheaper ICE Ford Focus (out of the 250,000 sold in the UK between 2011 and 2013), statistically I would have a much better chance that the Ford would still viable transport today; than if I'd spent 50% more of my of my hard earned £££ on buying one of the BEVs the article mentioned.
That's got to be a satire article right ? This isn't even anything to do with it being and EV. regardless of propulsion method, it highlights what a ridiculous vehicle it is. All they had to do is make it a big weather proof "box" ... and it would be a very functional van sized car.Even though the Cybertruck is apparently "bulletproof", and even though it has a "car wash mode", Tesla's warranty doesn't cover car wash related issues.
You couldn't make this sh#t up.
Cybertruck Turns Into Large Metal Brick After Going Through Car Wash
As one recent Tesla Cybertruck owner found out, even a car wash was able to defeat the 6,600-pound pickup.futurism.com
Whether it is due to it being an EV or not is unknown. Obviously something got wet that shouldn't have, whether that component is unique to EVs or is shared with ICE vehicles wasn't stated, and apparently the vehicle decided to work the following day.That's got to be a satire article right ?

How many of the ICE vehicles of a similar age are still at 100% factory spec for the engine and running gear? Given the article is from the UK, how many are petrol or diesel and which type of engine is more efficient? Does it really matter? Really, you need to stop cherrypicking.The cars "still exist". what exactly does this prove. Does it just prove, the things are to expensive to get rid of?

But subject to some reduction in power and increased consumption due to age. The vehicle's condition would depend on the use, servicing and care given to the vehicle in the past 10 years.I learnt if I'd bought a much cheaper ICE Ford Focus (out of the 250,000 sold in the UK between 2011 and 2013), statistically I would have a much better chance that the Ford would still viable transport today
Which is why most EV charging is done at home.Frankly I wouldn't like to be charging at them late at night.
Yup - fools and their money . . .The whole cybertruck thing is just stupid.

Hmm, have you been to the UK in the last few decades? I lived there for 10 years and barely ever saw a "normal" car in good condition.my guess is 99.999999999999% of them. I'm pretty sure I'm not far from wrong either. Most cars would die with there original drivelines still fitted these days. The motor/gearbox usually outlasts the car.
Have you got any studies to substantiate that loss of power and increase in fuel consumption at 10 years of age claim?0But subject to some reduction in power and increased consumption due to age.
