Car Dealers CAN'T SELL EVs Anymore, So Now They're SCRAPPING Them! 

The Tesla 3 is in the low $30k range including the federal subsidy. Tesla Superchargers are abundant. Range anxiety is an unrealistic fear. Tesla's give up about 15% of range in the coldest conditions. ICEVs also lose range in cold weather.

@@bobwallace9753 Here in Ontario, Canada the cheapest model 3 is 39550 - hardly cheap.

@@terencehawkes3933 Yes, you don't have the US federal subsidy. But you also don't have the US 100% tariff on very affordable Chinese EVs. Invite BYD and some other companies in.

We are a bit small of a market for BYD, but it will be interesting to see if they decide to come here.

@@terencehawkes3933 I'm not sure being small would deter BYD. They might want to sell their cars on both sides of the US. Just to stick it in Detroit's face.

Nope. EV batteries are highly recyclable. Over 95% of the materials in an EV can be recovered and used to make new EV batteries.

​@@bobwallace9753 Yes and No - it have to go to special equipped plant and there is not enough interest in that material yet. Maybe in future.

@@tomc.2808 There are at least two companies now recycling EV batteries. Redwood Materials, founded by JB Strable one of the original Tesla guys, has a plant operating in Nevada and is building a second South Carolina. Right now there are very few used EV batteries to recycle. But there are batteries that come out of the manufacturing process that don't meet standards. Those unusable batteries are now being recycled in Nevada and fed back into the Panasonic battery factory located in Tesla's Reno gigafactory.

Were. But now batteries are so good and their price has dropped low enough to make hybrids an outdated solution.

BRO, I dont give a fecal matter. I will be dead by then😂😂😂

Bah. Planes are chump change. Look at global shipping, the fuel use to move your phone around... and the gas that goes in your car...

So we shouldn't solve one part of our overall problem because it doesn't solve all parts? That's some strange thinking.

@@bobwallace9753 Troll!

When you do the math, and cheap EVs come, you will change your mind.

@@LawrenceRhodes LOL! Right! I wouldn't take one of those vehicles if you paid me to take it!

@@777guitarplayer So you're willing to spend a lot more just to what, brag that you don't drive an EV?

@@bobwallace9753 No, I'm willing to be realistic about life and EVs. 1. EVs cannot replace our current gasoline-powered vehicles because our country does not have the infrastructure to support them. 2. The charging cables get stolen by crackheads because they're made of copper! 3. Most, if not all of them have a very poor range! 4. They are still powered by fossil fuels via the power plants, even though people are too dumb to understand that! 5. Get into a minor fender bender, and the insurance company will total your entire vehicle! What happens to that waste? That's not very friendly to the environment, not to mention the children who are mining the materials for the EV batteries! 6. There aren't enough mechanics to work on them! The bottom line is I don't give a flip about you or your opinion about EVs! Go buy 3 of them, and save the planet if you feel like it! Personally, I wouldn't take one of them if you paid me!

@@777guitarplayer 1. You don't tell us what your country is so I can't judge whether your country has a functioning grid. If you live in a severely underdeveloped country then people, in general, may not have a place to plug in. But that is not the case in a developed country or most developing countries. If you do happen to live in, say, a rural area of an African country there's always the option of solar panels which will be cheaper than buying fuel. 2. Cable stealing is not common and controllable. 3. Some EVs have poor range. Some have more range that most people need. Buy what you need 4. Bogus. Even if EVs were charged using 100% coal generated electricity they would cause less environmental damage than ICEVs run on oil. And there aren't 100% fossil fuel grids. 5. Bogus. And EV batteries are recyclable. About 95% of the material in batteries is recovered and used to make new batteries. 0% of fuel burned in an ICEV is reusable. 6. Any mechanic that works on ICEVs can do most of the work needed for EVs. Change tires. Fill windshield wiper bottles. Change wiper blades. There's a very small need for shops that can work on the battery system and shops are opening as the need arises. But there's almost no need. If you want to pay more to drive. And if you are comfortable with knowing that you are part of the reason the planet is warming and people are dying, well, sleep well.

You are ignoring the fact that current EVs are not the Nissan Leaf which might do a couple of hundred thousand miles. Teslas might go 500,000 miles. EVs are cheaper to insure. Safest and highest selling car in the world is the Model Y.

@@LawrenceRhodes Subarus are safer

@@Sharded807 Tesla has better ratings than Subaru, partly because they resist rollover.

@@Sharded807 Actually not. Four out of the five safest rated cars are the Tesla 3, Y, S, and X. The only non-Tesla is one of the Volvos.

Tesla 3. Less than $35k including the federal subsidy. There are no vehicles that drive across the country nonstop. The batteries now being used have much longer useable lifespans than gas engines and transmissions. Insurance rates are based on the cost of the car. All the EV range anyone needs is their tummy/bladder range. Eat breakfast. Drive. Plug in when you stop for lunch. Drive. Plug in when you stop to pee. Notice how you didn't have to make a stop to fill up your gas tank?
