Bad Day to Be an EV Salesman 

so sad but this is too true.

We see them all the time on Caleb Hammer's channel. Someone paying $1200/mo on just a car loan, wild

Why did I read it as Sandero

@@Billy.ButcherGood News!

Is there any side channel?

@@mahmoudyassen8444 yeah it's called real mechanics stuff

Yeah - well that's why the capital depreciation is so insane. On the other hand I had a millionaire uncle who drove a vintage Rolls and was always boasting about how much it was appreciating. And because it's so much simpler than a modern car the servicing was relatively reasonable. You just have to buy a true collector's classic.

As the owner of a rare 70s Mercedes, trust me, they actually appreciate. Having to get parts fabricated costs money!

@@anthonycondon5833 I think that depends on the model. For example just this weekend I was chatting to a Model T owner and he said parts are plentiful - so there must be more recent and practical cars where parts aren't too tricky?

@@tullochgorum6323 yeah absolutely. I also have some old fords, and they're cheap as chips - either salvage parts or there's still people making brand new stuff. But this merc... It's not even standard merc parts for a lot of it. I recently had to get a small piece of fuel line and by far the cheapest thing was to get someone to make it custom, and that wasn't cheap!

@@tullochgorum6323 Most old ROlls depreciated like crazy

I want to like this comment but it's on 69 and I can't do it

We all knew how much of a stinker the Koda was gonna be lol.

yes, but also who the f*** is trying to sucker 5 grand out of someone for that pile of smoking garbage?

No suprise indeed

That doesn't make sense 😂

Golf clap for recreating the meme using just 2 emoji. 👏

EVs are shit on highways 😅🤣😅.

Even if gas prices were over $15, no real American is going to buy an EV especially overpriced Tesla's.

​@@SSGoatanks If you think the average American is willing to pay 200$ per fill up you're outta your mind.

Idk how you could drive 30k miles in 1 year and not have most of it be highway miles...

Probably a sponsored bit from from Ford to promote their truck, and make it not seem as expensive

Ford has also raised the base price to near $55k for the Pro.

I'm guessing presale battery QC would have been easier?

Straight pimping 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

my buddy trying to get rid of KIA EV, he brought it to KIA dealer. KIA dealer told him it worth $10,000. dude bought it for 60,000 and about 2 years old.

Hoovies garage bought one 😂

Hoovie bought one :D So point proven hahaha

400 dollars for tires is pretty good. My 2012 Camry tires cost me 1000

Buddy of mine had an old one, 2012 I think, and just got rid of it this year with 140k miles. It was still driving fine but the range had fallen to like 40 miles on a charge. He bought it cheap and got a lot of use out of it. Upgraded to a Model Y LR.

@@mylesgray3470 I am already planning on end-of-life for the battery, but it still is doing OK. You can get a reman battery for about half what a new one is for the 24 kWh variants with 90+% capacity. The only downside is needing the same PPE to swap as my day job doing industrial and commercial electric among other physical plant activities. The voltage is a bit of an issue.

Just flashed it at 23:49. Typical click bait. 😢

it’s pretty cool

@@thedon897 nah it's ugly asl and not reminiscent of a Mustang, they should've just called it something else

@@OctalInfinity the looks are very reminiscent of a mustang, are you just blind?😂

nice enough car but kinda ugly and don't understand calling it a mustang. brand recognition is so fuckin dumb

@@thedon897the mustang is a muscle car that’s like Chevy making a EV SUV and calling it a Camaro, I don’t really hate the car but it’s most definitely not a mustang

Yeah meanwhile every other car was 50% in one year.

yep, not he best but fairly normal if you exclude inflated priced old cars

I know right. The best case scenario is you buy a new car and get 20 years and 250k miles out of it then junk it for 350 bucks. Vehicles are transportation consumables at the end of the day.

@@DiustheZ every other EV

Yeah, they really should have done a depreciation % per year to compare them all.

I just bought a 2017 Passat SE w/Tech with 99,899K for 50% MSRP. I feel better about my purchase since watching this video. Thanks, guys!!!! P.S. I love this car.

@@briang70 Great to know you love it. new cars are only for dumb people and really really rich people, so glad you could save money

And the real appreciation begins at the 20-25 year mark. Think boomers and their muscle cars, millennials and 90’s Japanese sports cars, etc etc the cycle continues.

Yes indeed. A plaid really is worth about 63k, tops. But then I'd say that about a lot of ICE vehicles over 100k.

They can’t last. It’s clear as day look at the studies that have been done about ev’s and what they require. The batteries don’t last forever and can’t be recycled on top of them requiring metals that can easily be mined until they’re all gone. For example cobalt, pretty rare to come by and we do have a good amount of it throughout the world, for now…

Nope. It was never about making them affordable, quite the opposite. The UN and WEF don't want regular people going anywhere at all. It's environmental fascism that only favors the elites.

what did he meant

@@maksskill6715It looks like the blown up reflection of whatever’s beneath the drop of water. Big, bubbly, blue and distorted. Looks like a bloated mustang.

​@@gibme69420 i was thinkin more like it was something that soaked up the water and swelled up like rice or some shit.

With EV it makes even more sense as there is no maintenance issues. The only thing that would suck is the battery life. A two or three year depreciates EV would make more sense.

Stfu what happened to real comments

all my homies hate "hate sandro crew" crew x}

​@@Tater337Someone forgot their medication this morning. 😄

Why me?

But u are "that crew"..

Or just take into consideration that you'd have to be an idiot to buy a Tesla in the first place.

@upinarms79 I own two Tesla’s. Besides tires I’ve had zero maintenance. Between the two I’m pushing nearly 250k miles

@@GetThemLyrics Better hope those batteries hold up, because the resale value isn't and those battery packs are probably going to cost you around 10k - 20k a piece to replace. You may not pay anything for maintenance now, but it's more than made up for once you need new batteries.

I have 2 ev ioniq ultimate 2024 and Kona ev ultimate 2024 and i'm in Quebec...i rushed to buy the kona as the prov gvt will decrease what they pay by 2025. And no here ev cars aren't dropping...what is the interests as bank of Canada dropped it and seems will continue to do so

@@upinarms79 your comment makes you look like the idiot tbh. I don’t like Tesla either but people like you just make everyone look dumb lol. Most people get rid of a car before the battery would go bad anyway. Iirc Tesla has an 8 yr warranty on it - which is actually basically the average for how long an American keeps their car.

I test-drove a Volt and really liked it. Comfortable, plenty of punch, nice to look at. But there just weren't that many people willing to pay $40K for a semi-electrified Cruze.

As someone who has dailied a Volt a bit, yes. I love the idea that one day I might see a cheap one, and shove a newer battery type in there with a BMS..

Hybrids are trash

I kinda think they effed the volt from the get go. Look up the Chevy Volt concept. That thing looked amazing. The production version was almost a slap in the face compared to what was conceptualized. I think that’s part of what led to the downfall. Just my opinion though.

@@goracks69 Pretty much (almost) all concepts vs market versions are like that. Once the bean counters get their mitts on the papers it all goes south.

@Stierenkloot I mean he is in the videos for a reason and he makes way more money than you

sir, your profile picture has fooled me. well done :D

its also a leaf tho 😂

Lots of folks are going to get great deals on EVs and it'll only increase EV adoption. This is a good thing which happens with most new emerging tech. Early adopters pay a premium to be first, they help iron out the kinks/bugs, then the price drops as production ramps up/first gen models get resold, and soon the new tech is priced accordingly as the market settles down.

@@menace2society00 - Yeah it's a Leaf haha. Ugly little sleeper. Fastest car I've ever had, but only good for local commuting.

​@@smileychess so you only owned slow cars?

THIIIIIIIISSSS is donut media

someone has to be pretty foolish to buy a used EV with a 25-30k cost of replacing the battery.

@@paddington1670 EV batteries can hold up much longer than most people expect. 300.000 miles and over 10 years of ownership are perfectly doable. Even then you have maybe only 85% of the capacity left, which is still enough for daily driving for most people. Full out battery failures are super rare.

@paddington1670. Two points about that. First, look at the research in regard to EV battery life. In the actual published articles, most of the EV batteries that needed to be replaced came from early Gen 1 batteries. Batteries have advanced a lot since then. Even including those older batteries, less than 1% of all ev batteries have ever needed to be replaced. Second, like most things, buying an EV is a math problem. I own an ev and will be the first to tell you they are not for everyone. Do you tow? Is it your only car? Do you road trip often? Most importantly, will you rely on the public charger system. If you answer is yes to any of those, don't get an EV. If you pass those, then do the math. Determine how much you kwh charge is in your area, tax rebates, incentives,milage. Determine if the EV is worth it for you. In our case I commute about 90 miles a day. We did the math and I was spending about $450 a month with my old truck in gas. The tesla would be about $50 a month in power, but we have solar panels so its free. We charge at home and insurance only went up $50 a month for us. So it made sense. I'm saving almost $400 a month, but the math worked out for me. EVs are just like any other tool. They have a time and place. Figure out if the cost works for you.

Inflation and interest rates, the economy is bad.

The infrastructure on them sucks, their repairability also sucks, and their energy usage has such high variables depending on the weather and load compared to an ICE car, oh yeah and they're insurance rates are very high, and youre also paying a premium on those tires that also wear out faster than ICE vehicle tires

ok glad im not the only one

Damnit, the only time I wish I wasn't a YT Premium member. 😂

I swear I get that ad every time I watch a donut video it’s great 😭😭

Wow… really?? I only remember making a few thousand off CCIV! Only good thing electric cars have ever been for for me!

Expensive prices are dropping like crazy* I love how people who have never looked at the high-end car market are finally being exposed to what happens. Go look at S63 or S65 AMG models. They lose $100k+ in a matter of years. Look at a used 7-series. All $100k+ cars, worth less than half that after only a short time.

@@rustler08always been that way. i’ll drive a cool old car over a new car anyday

​@@rustler08this. I'm legit gonna go buy an m8 😂 140k msrp Now for 60s. TTV8 for the price of a supra? Lmao sign me up

where are you finding a 2k mile Lucid GT for 45k? From what I see you can find 30k mile one for like 64k~ with lower mileage ones in the high 60s, still bad but not as awful on depreciation as you said

audi in 5 years is 99% value drop

​@@retrocompaq5212not just Audi but all German vehicles. They are unreliable overpriced junk.

I agree, only listing the total deprepreciation doesn't make sense to me.

@@JAM_2024people dont have the extra 1500$ for the parts theyre not unreliable junk 😂 people are just too poor after the first owner

They presented false information. Plaid was $130k when it released in 2021. The price for a new one had steadily dropped to under $100k for a new one. A 2023 model would have been ~$90k new, so about a $26k loss which is ~29% if their $64k listing is legit. Not great but not nearly as bad at they are trying to lead you to believe. I don’t understand their motive.

I met Justin's twin brother James at a random little car meet in Raleigh a few months ago. Of course I thought it was Justin, but man it was cool meeting him too because he's just as enthusiastic about cars and apparently pops up at car meets in the area all the time. (His IG/youtube channels are Car-Nivores)

For the Boyz

True, but you still base off the original MSRP for this.

That Tesla has a seller rating of 1. It was probably a scam .

Wow bots having intelligent comments 😮

@@ExcavationNation Only because they're copying comments from actual people.

I think the Plaid MSRP also dropped by 30k$ where as other than Tesla don't really reduce their MSRP ever.

You said it right there, “character” this is all script bs now a days, this channel Starting to suck.

This reminds me of that simpsons scene where, i think, matge wont let homer drive while drinking, so he just drives between sips and stopping his car every 25ft 😂

Bot

@@yurei3714 She's not wrong though.

@@bwofficial1776he’s*

Tesla cfo has them for the same price paj33t

Bot

We knew this. Dealers got away with the markups when the used market was dry so the manufacturers increased the MSRP because they wanted a piece of it. Now consumers are fed up and wanting to pay the higher MSRP so the vehicles are sitting on dealer lots while the used market is starting to come back down to reasonable levels

I think those are the exception. Chevy's standard economy cars are a lot more iffy

And the Land Cruiser 200 / LX 570 🥵

and Lexus!:)

The Camaro and Corvette feel made by a different company honestly.

@josearturo6169 I own a camaro so I get it, but it's really just there was more pride put into these whips

Executives are the ultimate salesmen.

@@nobodynothing6551 okay dude

Everyone is losing in this market especially if you buy new 😅😅

That's been happening since the beginning, which makes it funnier, because of the editors' consistency! 😅

Yup definitely hoovies

I was looking for the comment, wondering if no one else noticed 😅

Zumiez stuff is wayy overpriced. I was so let down when Donut announced they'd be selling their merch there.

Damn thanks for the heads up ...I was gonna find a zoomies and maybe still will just cuz donut .. but deezamn , that price hurt my feelings ... that's like what I usta pay for friggen sub zero gear (not the badass mortal kombat guy but the tempature 😅)

@@Mega_TROH_nus yeah fr I feel like the last time I shopped at Zumiez was when I was like 19 or 20 I just feel like it isn’t the right store for their audience.

@@mastercricket7626 yeah fr when I had no responsibilities and was younger I’d maybe pay that price but half a days work is not going towards a branded shirt not a chance lmao

imma wait till it depreciates by over half :p (It's called Goodwill hehe)

Its the economy, inflation, interest rates, and hidden bad job figures.

also they are just shite

Not entirely wrong, but it’s maintenance and running costs. Charge your EV at home in a California city and, depending where you live, you might as well drive a 9mpg muscle car. Then there’s the fact that battery’s suck ass. Horrible to replace, few work on them, no way to DIY at home and a litany of other problems. EVs are boomer bullshit, and the market reflects this. Can’t wait for EV to become a thing of the past for a second time.

Gas here is $3/gallon about equivalent to the .30/kWh of public charging.

I think they look good on him. Some people can rock their fangs! 😅
