There are shops out there now that are reparing Tesla batteries. When a battery goes bad it is usually a single cell that causes it. Compnaies have developed ways to repair it. If you search for the video I am sure you can find them. The one shop I watched disconnnects and raises up the body and repaired the cell or bypassed that caonnection, fixed it and charged the customer 5K. The total battery was degraded by 15% from new and had over 200,000 miles on it. That shop was in CA someplace.
I think it's ugly&brutalistic but also very functional like a military vehicle is. I'm curious to see how the next gen dry 4680s effect the profit&growth rates of the ct program? They need the cheaper ct model's out asap imo. Ford has a sub 50k awd lightning with 250+miles of range already out and a decently optioned flash trim with 320+miles of range for 67k after tax credits and gm is dropping a 119kwh pack base wt trim everado awd at 57k by next summer fully tax credit eligible. Come on tesla step UP. Make a base trim 100kwh ct with less power base 18" with as tires maybe no air suspension no rws and 270-290 miles of range for just 55k or so! Or make all of that in just rwd trim for 50k or less! Offering new trims&option pack's with much lower msrps could easily get more folks and especially small businesses to buy the base model trim cts for their fleets! Every ct sold can save 800-1,000+gallons of gas or diesel from being burned up annually at 7# per gallon. 👍🏻😎
I have an ionic 6 dual motor. Also spend about $2 a day. Or as I view it about $8" fill up". Actually I have solar so it's more like $0 a day but I did the math anyway.
The equivalent to replacing the battery is replacing the engine in an ICE vehicle , do people worry about replacing the engine when they buy an ICE vehicle?
Not to mention that if the battery needs replacing, usually after about 400K miles. That’s $40K in gas alone, let alone other maintenance. So if the pack costs $6K to replace, who cares, still up $34K. Not too often a car gasoline engine will go 400K miles without some serious maintenance costs: transmissions, rebuilds, water pumps, spark plugs, oil changes. All that stuff is another $15K. Now you’re talking about $55K in fuel and maintenance costs, and people are worried about a $6K battery replacement. Sheesh. Not to say a sudden $6K expense is inconsequential, but c’mon. People will voluntarily spend $5/day on a coffee and not think anything of it. Over 20 years of average commuting (which is how long it will take for the average person to accumulate 400K miles) , that’s $30K in Starbies alone.
Not even, batteries are way cheaper than most engine replacements. Also engine replacements only go so far. Rubber hoses degrade. The major heat experianced by componets makes them fail over time. Battery life is super long and when it's time to change it can be simply and quickly changed. I want to say I heard that a Model 3 battery was o ly $8,000 installed and that has been about a year ago now. The other thing is that batteries are rapidly improving. A replacement battery pack 8-15 years down the road could provide more range or faster charging capabilities. Not really much to get out of a standard motor replacement.
@@wineberryred usual failure in gas engine is something small, water pump, water hose, turbo, alternator or AC system, having bigger problem is rare, 5k is usually enough to fix it. But EV battery pack usually starts from 20k, unless you find an independent shop to open and fix it cheaper than the dealership. Also if you are skillful enough you might fix the ice engine yourself, but maybe you don't want to touch that EV battery pack yourself.
@@petertraveller6421 I agree with most of what you said. My point was that a problem with the battery is as rare as an engine replacement in an ICE vehicle. Nissan and GM learned some hard lessons with battery management in the Leaf and Bolt similar to the lessons learned by VW with air cooled engines in the 60's. Just get an EV with a good battery management system and a good warranty just in case.
A friend paid $430 (with work) for another used engine because of an accident. The engine was replaced in less than 24 hours. Previous engine had 100k, second engine now has 220k miles. No problems with the engine. Total repair of the car cost 1500$. Total waiting time 14 days. It could have been finished faster, but there was a line to wait. This is the power of ICE vehicles. No need to wait long and no need to buy new parts -> simple, cheap and fast 🥂
$2/day, boy you mist do quite a bit of driving…for me it is similar: maximum of $2/day, but that’s for a full recharge- 0-100%. Some days I drive 200 miles for Uber for fun, and even on those days, plus family errands and normal other daily commuting it’s a maximum of $2/day. My local utility offers an overnight rate of $0.033/kWh. So $0.033/ kWh x 75 kWh = $2.47. That’s for a full day of driving. Most days is about 20 kWh, or $0.66/day.
When you are talking about mileage on a Tesla, if I'm remembering correctly, the older batteries were designed to last 300,000 miles and the newer batteries are designed to last 500,000 miles. I did hear somewhere that there were about 11 Tesla's that have gone over a million miles and 4 did not have a battery replacement. I believe 1 had 2 battery replacements and 3 motor replacements so your mileage will vary, but I really think of Tesla's as million mile lifetime vehicles.
Still love your watching your content. It must be easier to convince people about the merits of these cars when you are 6 foot 6. Would have helped when you were a police officer too I bet. G'day from Australia!
When are you getting your Cybertruck? December? The wait continues eh? Haha! As much as I like being unique out here, you gotta get some reactions driving it. Ha! Did you roll AWD or Beast?
The battery will outlive the car. And it will be too useful to throw away as the car crumbles around it - it will go into usage as battery storage on the grid someplace. And after that, it will get recycled.
@@lemongavine yeah its very futuristic but just not for me. I also like old school square body trucks so I cant talk. I think if the roof didnt look like a point and the back didnt slope down so much it would look nice.
@@turbospanky1 if they ever do a redesign on it, it’ll probably look much better. Tesla hasn’t done a major design change on any vehicle yet though. Model S is still looks basically the sam since 2012.

Best car ever made, best sports sedan in the world, my 2018 TM3LR with acceleration boost is a beast, just wish I bought it back in 2018
I've always thought the Cybertruck is beautiful. And now I've seen several parked or on the road, and still love them.

I like how you explain the FUD 👊💯
Some Tesla Smiles and giggles, a very original advertisement -- that was a fun video! Hopefully Max has a chance to join in on the fun sometime soon.
glad to see you back!!!
Glad to be back! Thank you for all your support! 👊👊👊
The Barbarian is one of my favorite EV You Tubers. Thanks Bother!
That is high praise! I am humbled and grateful! Thank you so much! Thank you for always watching and supporting the channel!

A clothes dryer uses the same amount of power as charging your Tesla.
MAX!!!
One of your older videos came up in my feed yesterday so I re-watched it and wondered where you’ve been. Very surprised to get a new one.
Welcome back! Thank you for watching! 👊👊👊

Commenting to feed the algorithm and to thank you for making me smile this evening.

I'd like to see Max take the wheel, but you may want to start him out in Chill Mode. Also, make sure your insurance covers him driving it.
Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to comment and interact! I appreciate it very much!

If your battery pack is out of warranty, most likely Rich Rebuilds can still fix it cheaper.
When are you getting your Cybertruck? December? The wait continues eh? Haha! As much as I like being unique out here, you gotta get some reactions driving it. Ha! Did you roll AWD or Beast?
BEAST! 👊👊👊 Estimated delivery in November! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I can’t wait!!! 😁😁😁
Max needs to do a test drive! Not a ride, a drive.
Can do 👊👊
Missed you Babs.
The battery will outlive the car. And it will be too useful to throw away as the car crumbles around it - it will go into usage as battery storage on the grid someplace. And after that, it will get recycled.
May i ask a question? Then why do we need a brake pedal? Only for emergency breaking?
When you drive for work do they reimburse you the "Govt" rate? If so you are making money
The cyber truck is the ugliest vehicle ever produced in my opinion and I love tesla
It’s futuristic though and it makes regular pickup trucks look very outdated
@@lemongavine yeah its very futuristic but just not for me. I also like old school square body trucks so I cant talk. I think if the roof didnt look like a point and the back didnt slope down so much it would look nice.
@@turbospanky1 if they ever do a redesign on it, it’ll probably look much better. Tesla hasn’t done a major design change on any vehicle yet though. Model S is still looks basically the sam since 2012.
People think the Model Y and 3 are ugly but has that stop them from selling well? Nope. Look is subjective. I find the none Cybertruck look dated.
LOL, "Hey Dave!"
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
