Then I hope you never have to work on your car! Dont call me if it does need work. What is the life of the car?

mike 2y ago

I’ve never worked on any car in my life. That’s what garages are for.

I’m not sure what you mean by life?

If you mean how old? One is 1 year old, the other two years.

For life expectancy, there are Tesla taxis approaching 500K miles and over 10 years old. I think the things that will “go wrong” with EVs will be peripheral components rather than the motor or batteries.

As I said EVs are a paradigm shift. If you want to “work” on cars there will be plenty of classic petrol cars around for years to come. If you don’t want to “work” on cars, then EVs just work.

I hope your cars never break!

Why?

It doesn’t matter they’re only cars!

I would like to have a sensible, serious, respectful discussion with a petrol car lover about why they are so negative about EVs.

If you prefer to throw insults or Ill wishes into the discussion instead, I would at least like to understand why?

I have no skin in the game. I don’t care about cars, but I do use them to travel around and to me, an outsider to the cultural side of cars, I am struggling to understand why a big proportion of car lovers are belligerent and make irrational claims to support scenarios that are simply untrue.

EVs are not perfect and they certainly have their disadvantages, but their advantages, from what I can see, outweigh their disadvantages.

Feel free to give some advantages of petrol cars, or make a rational case against EVs, but if you are unable, a polite refusal is far preferable to insults or derision.

Remind me when I insulted you? And I've made my case pretty clear.

“Don’t call me if it does need work”

OK, I won’t bother you again.
