Price parity exists. Unfortunately tariffs, taxes and importer margins place price premiums on EVs that do not exist where most are made = China. Teslas in America have reached price parity and are already much better value than similarly specced ICEvs.
Except that a ten year old Tesla is essentially worthless. Dealers wont accept them for trade-in at all, let alone give you any money for them. You'll have to pay to get rid of that, and it wont be cheap, because you, know "environmental legislation" on disposing of lithium batteries. Your ten year old ICE car, on the other hand, will still get you *something* on a trade-in. The world is rapidly recognizing that depreciation on EVs is MASSIVE.
@@remakeit2628 Make sure you store it well away from your house, so when it catches on fire it only destroys itself and not your house. But yes, a good idea.
Give me a cheap EV ! no nonsense not over engineered computer BS , auto this and that EV . EVs after all are nothing but golf carts!With expensive batteries! Just give me range and realistic low price!

@@starpawsy I would buy it in a flash, but convert the car battery into a home battery. Should hold enough charge to run a home for at least 2 days.

Excellence have headup display and the ones with a trailer hitch, wil move a 1500kg trailer instead of a 750kg one.

We can all dream. LOL
Charging infrastructure is what fails every other ev brand
So realistically a golf cart with a 300 mile range battery's cost how much?
Wouldn't touch a Chinese-made EV if you paid me.
it is ok, no one asked 🤭
