Let's see how those battery packs are doing in 10 years you fucking wank stain on humanity.

Either still driving perfectly fine or found a second life as static energy storage before ultimately being recycled.

Where I am the price difference between a base model Camry and a Model 3 is 21%. A difference I’d make up in lower running costs within two years.

But you're comparing new cars. I don't buy new cars, probably never will. There are no electric cars worth their salt in my price range, which is in the 10yo second hand range.

Absolutely sensible choice. You’ll benefit from a lower capital outlay now, and will realise the savings once second hand EVs hit your price point.

Anyone buying new would be wise to consider an EV (if available).

Are all EVs garbage when it comes to repairs? Seems like no EV manufacturer considered repairability when it comes to collisions.
