I wouldn't own an electric car if U gave it to me! How ever IF I did get one, I would cut it up and sell it for scrap!!! And make a couple of bucks!!! 🤗😜
@scotykilmer Please review the new Hyundai Elantra 2.0L gas 2021-2024. They have ivt transmission and atkinson engine. They changed things after issues.🎉
That explains why ? Right now Giant Retail multinational corporations transport distribution operations are switching to EV semi , obviously they have done all the logistics and don’t want to be left behind like you
I worked for Enterprise at an airport. They had two electric cars, out of the 2,500 in-fleet. Nobody wanted them. It was so bad that the managers started offering incentives - extra lunch, leave early, etc. - for anyone who sold someone on renting them. But even then, it was tough. 😂
you can do a lot of stuff with old phones with bad batteries. if you're a nerd anyway. a new battery tends to be like 10 bucks nowadays though, but you can't change a battery on an electric car with tools that cost 50 cents. sure the phones are glued but that's not much of a problem. also fyi cheaper the phone easier the battery is to change, like cheaper samsungs with plastic back you can do it with with basically just a fingernail
Hertz is also asking outrageous prices for the Teslas they are selling . They are asking top dollar for used Teslas with 50-90,000+ miles on them. Why would anyone buy those things with nearly burned up batteries and worn out interiors for 25-30K+? With all the incentives you can get brand new ones for not much more than that.
They'll slowly start feeding them into auctions as well, test to see what they're really worth at trade. Then they can do deals with car yards to slowly ramp up sales volumes. Because they're going down in value every month AND the economy is slowly getting worse.
Well the battery has 120,000 miles warranty most gas cars don't offer that for use cars the thing that made me trade it in is because the windshield wipers stopped working while I was on the highway
By paying at the pump, I can fill up my car in less than ten minutes. Why TF would I want a vehicle that takes an hour to charge and still may not be fully charged?
I have both a manual ICE car as well as a Tesla. EV is good for local driving IF you have a home charger. You never charge past 80%, the speed of charging is fast at 0% and slowest at 100%, so it is optimal to keep charging at low percents. You basically plugin your charger every night and charge to 80%. I spend 100 bucks in electricity costs per month with around 9000 miles per year. The car's flow is really streamlined. There is no key, you just walk in and drive. Also FSD is amazing, especially in traffic, you have to know when to use it. The car does not crash by itself, but may cause others to crash into you if you dont know where it chokes. The acceleration is faster than my 3000lb 300 HP turbo ICE car. One pedal driving is brilliant. There are just a lot of pros AS long as you have a home charger AND don't have a long drive commute. My ICE car, I spend $70+ for 230 miles. Driving manual, rev match, heel & toe is fun though.
because there's no maintenance, you can charge for free if you have solar, its not polluting the air we breathe, its fast and fun, and they are some of the best cars people have ever owned, according to EV owners.
@@mikeni1225 The problem is that stupid person at 4:45 tried to compel people to buy EVs and intends to prohibit sales of ICE vehicles after 2035 instead of letting the free market and the customers to decide what works for them.
I drive a 2024 Ford Transit 250. 11,000 miles,AWD, the rear differential was rebuilt 2000 miles ago, and it’s still making the same noise. I think it’s a bearing and will find out at next oil change. It’s leased. It’s got a 3.5 ECO non turbo with a 10 speed automatic. Great brakes and otherwise solid for a work van. It gets 18.2 mph combined.
Here in Southern Ontario, Canada, the local used car dealerships are trying to sell 2012 Nissan Leafs for $10,000 to $12,000 each. I went to three dealerships and tried to get them to take off $500 and not one was willing to take off anything. They can keep those EVs, they did me a favor by not selling one to me.
Same for me. Most rental companies that own EVs use them as their lowest priced "economy" rentals. And finding chargers is such a pain if you are driving across states. The worst part is driving uphill or fast eats the battery so quickly. Another problem is that they do not give you a fully charged car. And when I had to deal with that, there were two non-electric cars parked in the charging station when I had 5 mile range left. If you have to, pay extra for the non EV car rental. It will save you time!
An acquaintance of mine bought a Fiska Karma over 12 years ago before they went out of business the first time, it's a neat car with a solar voltaic roof
I had to rent a car in florida this past weekend and I did the "manager special" and it was a Kia Niro EV. It was my 1st time driving an EV and besides KIAs questionable quality (I've only owned Toyotas) I completely enjoyed the EV experience. When it came to charging I used an app called FPL EVoluation that an Tesla owner told me to use to find a Quick charger. We charged it from 33% to 90% in about 50 minutes. Which was fine for us, we plugged and got some lunch. When we finished the car was ready to go. I think need to do a battery pack exchange. Go in, robot arms take out the old battery, exchange with a new 100% charged battery, less then 5 minutes you're on your way
Scotty, i have just purchased a Toyota hilux here in the UK and i have to say that as a diesel pick up truck with a DPF system fitted, there is no fumes, smoke or particulates with the vehicle. This means that the argument from the Enviro Loons saying that diesels are death machines can no longer be justified. Toyota should tell the politicians to go and screw themselves and carry on manufacting petrol and diesel vehicles. If they want to get rid of polution in the cities, stop running old diesel buses and use LPG or gas powered buses instead.
I doubt I've spent 84k on all the cars I've owned, combined, my entire life. I've had one car payment in my life and that was when I was young and to build my credit. Even then it was a used 10k dollar car. The rest I paid cash for.
Hey Scotty, I just bought a washing machine at Home Depot. It had a destination fee of $30. They called it a delivery fee. You can't buy it at the store and take it home. They don't stock them.
Just bought a six-cylinder 2012 Hyundai Vera Cruz Limited with 130k miles for $6,500, in mint condition, thanks to scottie's review and recommendation. I expect it to run another 100k miles.
I used to work for another rental car company, right beside Hertz. Every single day there was at least one accident inside their lot. We always commented to each other after hearing the near constant screeching and crash sounds, "Hertz don't it?". Also almost all the rental car companies would sell their cars off at 60,000km. But would only change the oil once at the 30k mark. Not to mention how poorly the customers treated them. Don't ever buy an ex-rental car if you want something reliable.
Must trucks go into central hub. They sit over 6 hours. The delivery trucks have a defined route to deliver every item in shortest route. They are mostly less than 100 miles.
My friend had a model X and was very happy with it. He sold it for a very decent price after 4 years. And he bought a new one. The charger situation in my country is a lot better than in the US and the distances are much smaller.
@@TimTheMusicMan we have a very small country, (the Netherlands) and the charger density is relatively high and gasprices of around 8,5 USD per gallon 😅.
Battery do not die all at once. If new you will get a higher distance for traveling but a shorter time to recharge. So they age your range of travel will depend on battery health. You will charge more often to go the same distance.
My last car cost me £400 used. That was 6 years ago, and it still runs. Pretty much everyone I know would be completely immobilised if they had to pay EV prices for a car. Around here, £1000 is considered a "luxury car". EVs would literally have to cost £400, and be actually better than their £400 petrol alternatives, for anyone to give a crap. And I'm pretty certain that will never happen.
Amen on the solar panels Scotty. I live in Florida and it is amazing that people throw those things up on the roof, get a bad installation with lots of penetrations and leaks into the house. And then, they find out their insurance company won’t insure them in a place like Florida where it’s almost impossible to get homeowners insurance.and of course, they need to escape the hurricane while sparing down on their property, but their Tesla is barely charged. You just cannot make this stuff up!
Funny, I was looking for rentals earlier yesterday and saw that that company has technology that tracks you and listens and sometimes records you, when you rent a car from em you might get into a bugged car that spies on you so be careful renting people ! It’s clearly a violation of privacy.
I’m gonna pass on hertz cars as I don’t wanna be accused of stealing the car that I bought coz it seems to be their thing to accuse renters of stealing cars
Honda has a system In othe countries has a new battery system. If your battery is depleted you go to station and you replace your battery module with a new one. roughly 2 modules. They basically look like the power module for the space port in The fifth element. The power module then charges as you drive away.
That’s a lie , hertz said it’s too expensive to buy electric cars especially Tesla because when somebody gets into an accident they are paying more than an ice car to repair it also Tesla refuses to give them any discounts and a warranty extension for their fleet so they are selling all cars are aren’t under warranty.
@@ThomasKing19933 You really like talking to the plebs about your money. Money can't buy class, style or friends. I guess you dont have many friends. That's why youre living in Scotty's comments section to get some needed attention, cause you're lonely.
I thought I would rent an EV just to "try it out" for a one-day business trip. First, they told me it was fully charged, and I had to return it fully charged. It wasn't. It was only 40% charged. I spent four hours looking for a place to charge in rural New Jersey with chargers that would not take all night. I ended up sitting in the Target parking lot until 11:30 p.m. alongside other people sitting in their cars, running the heaters, radios, lights, and car phones while they waited to charge. With a gas car, I could have spent that time relaxing in the hotel and getting to bed early. I was not able to charge the car completely, but I left it more than when I got it. When I returned the car, I told the girl that it was not fully charged, and she said, "That's OK; I'll say it was fully charged."
EVs seem like good choices for the niche the Leaf/Tesla were built for. Suburban with a garage already wired for 220, or easily refitted to the high amp panel. It seems a bad fit (as built) for apartment complexes, downtown living, rental fleets, rural life, older houses with power panels barely rated for AC or that don't have dedicated garages. That is why the debcocle happened in the rust belt and Chicago last winter. Frozen cars ALL needing street charge on the coldest day of the year. They are perfect Yuppie chariots. Trendy, lots of in cabin toys, hands off care for Seinfeld type people that can't work a hammer, and call people to change a flat.
It's crazy. In Quartzite, AZ ( right off the 10 freeway) there must be 70- 100 charging spot at two stations adjacent to major businesses. I can count on one hand the amount of EV's using them at any one time( a few fingers missing). There must be some big incentives from the government to install them( along with the big generators I see). What a boondoggle 🙄
Why don't they make small portable battery packs you can take out of the car to charge over night. You can buy multiple packs that you can get rid of recycle buy new ones so they don't degrade over time
"Never?" wow... Only the Sith deal in absolutes. Sounds like you're just parroting bad advice. As usual, the devil is in the details. . My experience has been completely opposite. Bought a 2019 Camry in 2020 and while it did have a ton of miles on it, relatively, it's performed BEYOND expectations to this day. No maintenance problems. Everything still works. Still getting 40mpg on the highway. Probably the most reliable car I've ever had.
Just watch Enterprise scoop up Hertz as another subsidiary. Hertz only has a market cap of a little over a billion dollars; pocket change for Enterprise which has revenues of over $25 billion.
If Fisker goes bankrupt the court out to make them release all of the source code to the car's software and all technical information so persons who bought them can use that info in fixing them.
Doesn’t work that way. Their technology (car software code) is trade secret and has value. If Fiskar goes under that code is trade secret and will be sold at auction. You’ll never get it unless they release it as public domain while still solvent.
I always laugh at people who put solar panels on their roof. By the time they get the ROI they will need a new roof and it will cost twice as much pulling all that crap off and the ROI is gone. Haha
I would like to hear the comparison of KW versus the energy of gasoline. With the high prices of electricity and the delivery charge, is gasoline a better deal? I'm happy with my corolla hybrid. But the idea of using electricity for a work vehicle is not practical to my thinking.
That Etransit range sounds unusable for serious work. I do carrier delivery, and I'm out 8 hours a day driving and delivering locally, and an estimated 159 miles wouldn't get me through the day 😆😆
Don't you hate that new cars come with a destination fee and other taxes. You don't have that when you buy an appliance, computer or electronic device at the store
4:00 a lot of single women go thru this... please cut her a break. you dont know what shes been thru and she probably is under educated and single, and probably struggling. People sometimes dont know what its like to make it in this world ALONE.
You have to return it fully charged or get fined. Trouble is that unless there is a charging site next door to the car rental place, the car will not be fully charged when you drive it back !
$20k for a used electric Volvo is a minimum of $19,000 to much I would try a electric vehicle but I'm not going to buy one or lock myself into a lease because I didn't want to be stuck with it when it doesn't work out
The vans charge overnight and can drive hundreds of miles a day with much lower maintenance than a diesel truck. So, if your deliveries are all around town, it seems like a much less expensive option. Especially in the long run.
I talked to a car salesman many years ago and was surprised to find that most buyers go into the showroom asking what payments they can get. No concern at all for interest rates or length of loan, just get me a cheap payment!
wondering if those people that had solar panels installed on their roofs, did any of them think of how much it would cost when the roof needs to be replaced?
EV's needs 30yrs of battery evolution before scotty buys a chinese copy of a chevy silverado EV. And dont forget they included a destination fee of $3000
EV fan boys always talk about the possibility (not a guarantee) how EVs will improve to the point where more people will buy them. But they don’t talk about how gas powered car engine are improving too. They dont put out that much pollutants even now.
@@mikemccormick8115 Agree. We've got more cars than ever on the road but the air quality is way more better than what it was when I was a kid. Cities used to smell so bad back then.
Exactly. I grew up with the “brown cloud” of Denver but that city hasn’t had much of one, if at all like in the 60s-70s, for many years, since before the first Tesla EV.
@@mikemccormick8115 we are hitting diminishing returns on gas cars though. Can only do so much. EVs are improving significantly. Growing pains right now.
I wonder if there will be a kit to change one of those phased out cars into a gas car. They would still have the EV stickers, but run by Gas, Diesel, Propane, or CNG... A B-EV would have the suspension for the weight of an engine, but the space of it, cooling system... it would be funny :-) Change a B-EV to gas.
I got 5 acres of Rocky ground I thought I'd put an EV 100 yd from my house and run a cord to power my house solar system the batteries for a solar power system cost of Fortune. One of these EVs might be the perfect solution.
Only if they do a Back to the Future reboot and the new time machine is a Fisker. Lots of cars aren't made anymore and aren't collector's items. I don't see many people falling over themselves to get a Pontiac Vibe.
The DeLorean still works as designed. There is a real risk (with digital cars) that they will stop working partially or even completely if they can't phone home.
Electric vehicles would have been in a better state if oil companies hadn't bought out electric vehicles. The original delivery trucks in 1800's were electric trucks. How were they able to work with these electric vehicles way back in victorian times?
@@billymule961 There are plans for modern battery replacement. a car would enter replacement system and old battery bank would be removed and new battery bank would be installed. Honda is creating these mobile charging systems in Japan. As EV gets used it can be improved.
Doesn't really matter that they drop the price. There are not enough *"Properly Skilled"* ev technicians to work on and resolve the minor vehicle problems. The labor and the parts bill alone will possibly hurt any price savings received from the car. I am so glad that I sat-on-my-hands and waited to learn more about these ev's because I truly "had" stars in my eyes for a Tesla. "Had."
The fate of battery cars rests on the the evolution of battery technology. Bad news is that battery tech has plateaued over the past 10 years. There needs to be a huge leap forward very soon.
The solution to software-dependent cars is to retrofit them to be hardware dependent cars i.e. no internet connection and no updates. The main goal is that the car RUNS and is reliable. It doesn't take software to do that. Get rid of all the infotainment and focus on the basics.
Proportionally, these EVs are no better than the RC cars I played with years ago. On a fully charged set of batteries, I get 15minutes of fun. Then it takes 3 hours to charge them back up, meaning I need a bunch of batteries in order to have fun. Screw that.
