Seems Tesla and BMW have a lot in common. :lol: And you do realize that most fires in ICE powered vehicles that aren't relatively new are a result of either lack of maintenance or lousy work. Christ, Tesla has had 6 recalls (as of 2018 )just for their 'S' model and that model has only been in production since 2012-13. 6 recalls, 7 years. What a piece of shit.

ROFLMFAO. They have batteries that are way too expensive to replace when they expire. Worth more than the value of the car. If that isn't planned obsolescence I don't know what is.

As usual your facts are totally wrong, and only prove your intellectual sloth.

lets see: Tesla batteries are made to go 300-500K miles

They are warrantied up to 120k miles -/ 8 years nobody even knows how long they will last

In the near future they will be built to go a million miles.

Model 3 battery replacement costs are $5-7000 thousand dollars - which is far less than an engine replacement on any comparable ice vehicle.

But continue lying about ev costs.

You provide me with a much needed laugh every now and then

Model S taxi with high mileage

https://electrek.co/2018/07/17/tesla-model-s-holds-up-400000-miles-3-years/

Tesloop has incurred a combined maintenance cost of roughly $19,000 or about $0.05/mile. This cost breaks down to $6,700 for general vehicle repairs and $12,200 for regularly scheduled maintenance. The Model S’ full service record is available here. The record includes comparable estimated costs of running the service with a Lincoln Town Car instead of a Model S or Mercedes GLS class instead of a Model X. Tesloop estimates that a Lincoln Town Car or Mercedes GLS class’ combined maintenance cost to be around $88,500 ($0.22/mile) and $98,900 ($0.25/mile) respectively over 400,000 miles.

No doubt, but I do especially love the references to estimated costs and projected mileage, etc, etc


Seeing how they have no real time data, they can estimate and project all they want... Much like the company, those projections/estimations are entirely worthless

Tesla’s Model 3 Success Hits BMW the Hardest

Two years after the Model 3’s rocky debut, drivers like Woodruff have startled automakers with a sudden rush toward electric vehicles. In the U.S., Tesla’s sedan has taken over the luxury class, outselling the category-defining BMW 3 Series and Mercedes Benz C-Class combined. And it’s doing so at a higher price: The average Model 3 goes for around $50,000, which is more than any of the top 10 vehicles that buyers traded in from other brands, according to responses to Bloomberg’s Model 3 owners survey. No other sedan in America is generating more revenue.
