🤔Thinking about switching to a gas car from an EV? What’s the biggest factor influencing your decision? 👉8 Essential Warnings from EV Owners: Don't Miss These Tips! WATCH IT NOW HERE! 🎬 ua-cam.com/video/fqlIb4rVy7Y/v-deo.html
Imagine producing a car that is worse for the environment, doesn’t go as far before needing an input of energy, takes much longer to replenish that energy, higher insurance costs, and crashing resale - that’s an EV and democrats call that progress.
I wonder if twenty years from now business and government textbooks will be referring to EVs in the chapter universally titled "Unintended Consequences".
Let's pretend AGW doesn't exist and will magically go away if science deniers just ignore it. /s And I'm FINE with using hybrids while batteries improve. But NOT denying the issue and just whining about EV's with non-issues. Also citing NO sources for claims.
1. Out here in the western U.S. like Nevada, Utah, Montana, Idaho there are many businesses that are based in the major cities but have regular clients 100+ miles away ( I've worked for a couple where 600mi round trips are common). Even if range wasn't an issue, charging time would be. 2. All the different chargers are card/app based. Usually unmonitored. There is no way yet to throw a cashier a couple of bucks for a quick charge. With the number of "money harvesters" hanging around parking lots these days, a 20-45 min stay in one spot leaves you vulnerable. 3. Yes car repairs are expensive for the same reason a dog licks his balls but even more so for EVs. There doesn't seem to be any repair that is under 4 figures for an EV.
The highest cost of car are insurance, car payments, and depreciation.,this doesn't change. A gas powered car can be driven 440 miles on a tank , take 20 minutes to refill drive another 440 miles.
What the hell are you talking about? 20 minutes? My ancient Hyundai Sante Fe 18 gallon tank gives about 455 miles. Nozzle in to nozzle out 92 SECONDS. I timed it on two occasions to make sure.
One area Tesla has performed well - design. Those cars are beautiful and well designed. This is a huge part of the mystic and allure. They appeal to the eye. Personally, I wouldn't purchase aTesla due to all reasons you outline in your videos. However, I have to admit I'm moved by the sleek, attractive, timeless designs.
Lucid air is great! For those like me, a large full size luxury automobile which tesla dosent even make. A more classic dashboard with smooth affects and presentation along with style. The rest of the interior is superbly constructed and arranged to completely provide a very comfortable (travel) experience. Despite the fact that it takes time to charge ofcourse and no not 3 minutes like fueling but, it offers a range of 500 to 516 miles. Unfortunately the Luxurious Lucid air has a starting price of 70K and could cost up to as much as well over 100k. After looking at one of these in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, i damn near fell over when he told me the price. When i asked him, "Why so expensive?" He replied by saying, "Because no one else can compete with us in many areas of electrification." I laughed at him and told him that was inaccurate. I showed him my car and told him. "This is luxurious also. A large full size luxury automobile. No long sitting times for charging, range is 570 miles, and the price? Paid off at 41K. Poor guy didn't know what to say. But let the day come when EVs like the Lucid air becomes available at a price of atleast 50K or less and I'll take one. Otherwise, a very nice EV, very nice!!! But I'll keep my jaguar XJl and leave well enough alone....
LOL - Edmunds article says 48% of EV owners that turn up at a DEALER go back to ICE - almost 80% of exisitng EV owners don't go to a dealer at all and just trade their exisitng EV for a new EV online. Roughly 10% of existing EV owners opt for ICE when they trade up or buy their next car not 50%, that's still way less than the 8% to 10% of new car buyers overall that are switching from ICE to EV - the number of EVs on US roads continues to increase by 800k to 1million cars a year.
🤣If only you had the brain power to understand the level of irony in this reply .... Aplogies - I also forgot facts are not important when it doesn't support the anti-EV ideology - we should just ignore them like flat earthers do
@@robertkubrick3738 I'm confused - I currently have a diesel van, a PHEV 4wd, a modified manual Alfa, a lifted Jeep Wrangler, a '57 Humber Hawk and an EV. I've owned 1/2 a dozen Landcruisers, A few high-end German cars, some cheap Japanese & Korean, A '69 Roadrunner Hemi and a 427 Walkinshaw - unsure of my cultist status - please explain.
I’m not a fan of EVs, mainly because of some of the limitations. However, I’m not one to just take someone’s word for anything. I like your video’s and the information is intriguing. Can you tell me the source of your findings. I can’t in good conscience share information I cannot verify myself.
How do people budget for "fuel" say till your next payday when the cost of filling up can vary so much? Also the EV market has promised so many things yet never seem to fulfill all of them, we have been seeing big increase in charging stations. But then only 80 miles from Seattle don't have to go very far to reach charging wastelands.
Maybe it's different in Australia - I charge my car at home for 8c/kwh ($ AUD overnight EV rate) = 5c/kwh US. I get over 500km range / 310miles from $2.85 US of electricity, less than 1c per mile. My insurance is less than my previous ICE car, the tires have 40k km / 25k miles and look like they're 1/2 way done (I would have a new set on my previous ICE car by now), after 18months my battery has degraded 2%, 1.8% of that was in the first 9 months only 0.2% since. I save around $7k-$8k USD per year vs my previous ICE car when I add fuel, services, brakes, tires and add back the additional tax breaks from salary packaging (I also packed by previous car). I drive a 1200 mile round trip Sydney-Melbourne-Sydney semi regularly and even on that trip with 40c/kwh (US) supercharger costs it's faster and cheaper in my EV than previousl ICE car (Audi A4).
Beeing in Europe, gas cars are really useless nowadays. There are fast chargers everywhere. EV are much better than gas car : less expensive, more efficient, much less noisy, much more responsive whitout any lag time, more robust, etc.., I am switching all my gas cars to EV without any regret and the contrary. Each Time I drive an EV, I am so pleased to drive a silent rocket that cost 3-4 times less in daily use than a gas car. My remaining gas far is only a collectible car. None of my EV cars is a Tesla.
In the USA and Europe Diesels are complicated. The car I bought Toyota Innova 2.8 Turbo Diesel for use in the Philippines, has a high flow catalytic converter, No DPF, no Act Blue, No Urea. I expect it to last about 30 years with minimal maintenance and get good mileage doing it.
@@robertkubrick3738 i had old simple diesels too, and those are billetproof, but still, gasoline is even more low-tech, perfect for an old low-maintenance car
I had a Tesla Model 3 performance for a 3 year lease and it was a neat car and I was able to charge for free at my office but we always took my wife's SUV on trips so we wouldn't have to hassle with finding charging stations. I went back to ICE getting a BMW X3M competition and above all else, the X3 is FUN. Loud exhaust, fast shifting transmission, whoosing sounds from the turbos spooling up and the sound of the blow off valves... it's exciting. There's drama and fun to the experience... personality and character. The Tesla has none of that. Sure it's fast in a straight line up to around 80 or 90mph but that's about it and that party trick wears off quickly. Even more hilarious is how much better the tech is in the BMW. Lane keep assist is better, there's car play, 3D cameras for parking, better seats, better interior, significantly better quality paint (per the detail shop who did ceramic and ppf on both cars), etc. Also, being able to actually pick up the phone and call the dealer and speak to a human shouldn't be noteworthy but if you've owned a Tesla, you know that experience is nearly impossible to have with that company.
It is not that half of Tesla owners switched back to gas car, it is half of Tesla owners who switched switched to gas car. Most of Tesla owners do not switch at all.
Fisker??? Lol.... they filed bankrupt isn't it lol... don't agreed Rivian and Lucid challenging Tesla but BYD in China stand strong and especially Hyundai making good EV which customers interest a lot
I have never heard of any one that have changed back to ICE cars after owning a Tesla, actualy i have hardly heard of any one going back to ICE after buying their first EV. I know one man, he moved house, from a rented to a owned house so he needed the money he got from seling the EV, and he got a much shorter dayli comute, so he didnt save that much on EV any more. But what do i know about this, i just live in the worlds Tesla and EV capital and the oldest EV in the family is 13,5 years old

That means it's consistent with many other Democratic ideas.
Well, someone figured out something I figured out without spending $100k. Simply put, any EV isn't worth the hassle.

Pay at the pump less than 5 minutes. But it's your choice if you want to take a leak, grab coffee or whatever.

Didn't change back because his EV had dropped too much in value and was worthless as a trade-in so might as well ride it out. Poor dear.
Plenty of famous UK personalities switched back to gas or diesel.
Try HERTZ bro
You must not get out much in to the Real World
I would only change for a V12 sports car and if someone would pay the high petrol costs for me.
All EV's are crap, even a lot new ICE cars are crap because all the electronics.
