Just witnessed this meeting of the minds on FB
People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke
You're viewing a single thread.
Not defending them, but if I can't afford a tank of gas I likely can't afford a whole new car. Hell I can afford a tank of gas and I still can't afford a new car.
For a while, with state and federal rebates, new EVs were ridiculously cheap but a lot of people didn't realize it. My brother leased a Nissan Leaf for my niece for $100 a month. I realize leasing isn't for everyone, but $100 a month for a car for a teenager is pretty damn reasonable until she can afford to buy something for herself.
They're insanely cheap RIGHT NOW. lol
You can get a used 2018-2020 Tesla (or any other brand) for $25k and then $4k back through a tax credit.
That's not cheap to me, that's a normal price for a new car. My current car cost thousands less than that and is still great.
Sure, but normal new car prices are ridiculous right now.
Apparently the average is 48K! https://www.moneygeek.com/insurance/auto/average-price-of-a-new-car/
Yikes, a new subcompact is 23K on average.
But then you'd have to buy a Tesla.
Which is awesome 😎.
Ceo sucks but he bought a business that makes great cars (once you make sure yours doesn't have the notorious panel gaps).
Tesla is the worst electric car because it supports Elon Musk
A used tesla doesnt
The stink is hard to wash out.
Most teslas i see are still 30-40k and there really aren't any other brands besides compliance cars at that age.
insanely cheap
I think this comment is "insanely" braindead
Really I thought these were all expired... But if not we may end up going for it this year
Dude 25k is an insane amount of money for a car and is simply not an option for most people also then you would have to be driving not only a Tesla but a Tesla with an old ass battery
Median new car price is $46k, so $21k after tax credit for a used car is very doable for many.
I don't know where your from but I don't know many people buying a new car
There are 17 million new cars sold in the US every year. Somebody is buying them.
Yeah not a lot of second hand ev's out there to buy.
Lots of them on Autotrader when I looked a week ago.
The problem is, they still want $40k for a used EV.
Damn did not know that, still expensive for sure.
And then you need to consider how much battery capacity is left, pretty sure that's a really big cost to replace?
Unless you are buying one with over 200k miles (still likely 90% there), capacity is out something you have to worry too much about.
