I think tesla only warranty their batteries for 8 years?
Not sure but at $22,000 aud a go, would not like to hedge my bets on replacing a bad battery just out of warranty.
Saw recently a bloke have this happen with his tesla, faulty battery just out of warranty , had a massive fight with tesla who refused to help so the owner blew up his tesla with dynamite as the car was effectively worthless!!
Re hybrid cars- crazy to buy one as the EU has already flagged to outlaw them by 2030, so where is the value in that!!
Ev’s have their use in places where your doing short distances daily or high density populations with being able to charge at each end of the journey such as the UK but in a place like Australia,
apart from to and from work city driving, absolutely useless over distances here.
Also not so good where the power grid is not in good shape either.
Hydrogen fuel cell is the only way to here hence the billions of $ currently being invested here in hydrogen production.
700km for s fuel cell, 2 minutes to refill.
