I don't buy into it at all....!
So I wonder how many owners will still be driving the same hybrid or electric car around after 20yrs?...….or maybe even 10yrs? Whereas a lot of people hold onto there cars for many years, that will disappear simply because these vehicles do not have the life expectancy. |

I note the insight is a Hybrid so I guess if the battery gave up the ghost the engine would still be lugging around that extra battery weight all these years making it a gas guzzler. |

I can foresee a time in the not too distant future when we drivers of petrol and diesel cars will spend as long hunting for filling stations for them as drivers of EVs spend charging them!

There are now more charging points than fuel stations in the UK https://insideevs.com/news/365439/mo...fuel-stations/

Not really a fair comparison - should be charge points to fuel pumps, and even then you will spend far more time at a charge point than you will at a pump, so there need to be more of them for true parity.

The fact of the matter is we need warp drive technology and transporters to beam us here there and everywhere - locomotion is sooooooooooo last century

Brian - is this really the case with the units manufactured specifically for Tesla? I would have thought that the model here would be like that employed by Apple - produced by the same companies as cheap electronics but to exacting Apple specification and standards. |
