      Yeah - well that's why the capital depreciation is so insane. On the other hand I had a millionaire uncle who drove a vintage Rolls and was always boasting about how much it was appreciating. And because it's so much simpler than a modern car the servicing was relatively reasonable. You just have to buy a true collector's classic.

    Guys, i don’t knowabout every state in the US, but here in Canada, government gives cash incentives for buying an electric car, and they give them once only for a car. Meaning, let’s say you bought a Tesla model 3 here in Quebec for 55k Canadian, you will get 5k slashed from the price as a federal incentive, then another 7k cash within a month from Quebec as a province. Meaning you paid 43k+taxes for the car.
    When you sell it next year for instance, the price will drop from 43k, not the 55, because the buyer knows that you took the incentives, and he won’t get any himself for buying a 1years old car, so your price better be less than 43k, or he is better with a new one.
    So you must take that into consideration in the price drop, even if you don’t have incentives in your state, the market is flooded with cars from other states and Canada

    I was talking to a buddy who works in accounting at carvana and he was saying that what we are seeing now was expected in the industry.
    No new cars, ICE or EV, are selling well right now. The prices are too high and the mark ups are too much. However, when sales reports are released, they only report new car sales, which is why EVs look like they are tanking. That is because they are overpriced, but ICEs are doing just as poorly because they are also overpriced.
    The major cause of the decrease in EV sales is that mass adoption has finally created a used market that didn't exist before. He was saying that carvana is the #1 seller of used EV in the country, and they are selling more than ever before. He was saying that instead of looking at release sales metrics, look at adoption rates to get a better picture. More people are driving evs than ever before, so the adoption rate is going up even though new car sales are going down. They just aren't buying new.
    Moral of the story, people are willing to spend $15k - $40k on a car, EV or ICE, not $50k - $75k.

      @stayoffthemarbles6790 6 місяців тому +26

      @paddington1670. Two points about that. First, look at the research in regard to EV battery life. In the actual published articles, most of the EV batteries that needed to be replaced came from early Gen 1 batteries. Batteries have advanced a lot since then. Even including those older batteries, less than 1% of all ev batteries have ever needed to be replaced.
      Second, like most things, buying an EV is a math problem. I own an ev and will be the first to tell you they are not for everyone. Do you tow? Is it your only car? Do you road trip often? Most importantly, will you rely on the public charger system. If you answer is yes to any of those, don't get an EV. If you pass those, then do the math. Determine how much you kwh charge is in your area, tax rebates, incentives,milage. Determine if the EV is worth it for you. In our case I commute about 90 miles a day. We did the math and I was spending about $450 a month with my old truck in gas. The tesla would be about $50 a month in power, but we have solar panels so its free. We charge at home and insurance only went up $50 a month for us. So it made sense. I'm saving almost $400 a month, but the math worked out for me. EVs are just like any other tool. They have a time and place. Figure out if the cost works for you.

    I’m biased as I have a 2022 Mach-E GT pretty much identical to the one in the video (mine doesn’t have the performance pack, so 30 less tq and no magnetic dampers, but longer range), but I think that depreciation is heavily region dependent, I see them selling for the low $40k range here on the west coast. I’m not surprised the Midwest would see especially steep EV depreciation as early adopters realize the range and infrastructure around there isn’t what they might have expected.
    Also have to note that while the MSRP might be $70k, it qualified for the $7500 tax credit in 2022, and Illinois has a $4k state EV rebate, so excluding sales tax, it was really a $58k car overall.
    None of that matters to me though as we’ve been really pleased with it and will keep it for many years to come, so depreciation would have bottomed out for any car by that point.

    I think this was a little biased maybe... Cause the ICE engine cars were all old or luxury cars, in one case both, which are huge factors for depreciation.
    I think something fair would've been to point out the depreciation per year for every car, because saying the Maybach depreciated 311000 dollars in 20 years (~15500 per year) is nowhere as terrible as the EVs losing over half their value in one year...

      They presented false information. Plaid was $130k when it released in 2021. The price for a new one had steadily dropped to under $100k for a new one. A 2023 model would have been ~$90k new, so about a $26k loss which is ~29% if their $64k listing is legit. Not great but not nearly as bad at they are trying to lead you to believe.

      Ev will be expensive for a while because they are too new. Massive production isn’t there yet, a lot of money is spent on research and design as they are discovering problems with the new technology. They are also targeting people who are willing to take a chance because there is uncertainty and that tends to be people who have money or at least not worried about it. And the electric cars have a lot of computers and technology that raise the prices. Another 10 years, I think it will be much lower.

      @@Alphasnowbordergirl EVs are fairly simple machines compared to ICEs. The cost is in the battery. Go to a hardware store and look at the cost of a cordless drill. The tool on it's own isn't expensive, but the battery that powers it costs just as much if not more than the tool itself. They've been mass producing these things for decades.

    I have a different theory on the price crashes. Most people can't accept that an EV should cost 40% more than the ICE version of a car so the resale prices quickly dump to where people think they should be priced rather than the price the manufacturers thought they were worth.

      Charge your EV at home in a California city and, depending where you live, you might as well drive a 9mpg muscle car. Then there’s the fact that battery’s suck ass. Horrible to replace, few work on them, no way to DIY at home and a litany of other problems.

      I mean it's pretty clear it's for people who aren't regularly towing long distance. It's for people who rarely/never tow long distance, OR it's for like construction / lawn crews that are taking equipment around town. EVs are great commuter cars and this is a great commuter truck; haul your work tools around all day, charge over night, wake up every morning with a "full tank."

      In most working situations a ICE beats the electric motor. Its cut and dry the science is there already. Its been tested. For ANY kind of towing the ICE beats the electric motor by leaps and bounds.
