            @alteclan: I hope that article is not saying ICE is better for climate change than EVs, lol.

            • alteclan on 04/04/2023 - 21:20

              @CuteWittleCorgi: It's not black or white, and I am not an anti-ev either, I just want it to be mainstream before volunteering myself as a lab rat and pay an over-priced gimmick - hey, that's the OzBargain spirit!

              I'll be on it when range and charging infra are expanded, price parity with ICE, and no more than 10 mins charging time with no/little queue during peak holidays.

              Here's what chatbot ai overlord says about the article:

              • Electric vehicles (EVs) are often promoted as a cleaner alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars, but their environmental impact may not be as positive as commonly believed.
              • The production and disposal of EV batteries raise several environmental concerns, including:
              • Use of rare earth metals: EV batteries require rare earth metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are often mined in environmentally damaging ways.
              • Energy-intensive manufacturing: The production of EV batteries is energy-intensive and relies on fossil fuels in many parts of the world, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
              • Lack of recycling infrastructure: Currently, there is a lack of recycling infrastructure for EV batteries, which means that many batteries end up in landfills, potentially contaminating soil and groundwater.
              • The production of electricity to power EVs still relies heavily on fossil fuels in many parts of the world, which further contributes to environmental pollution.
              • Policymakers and consumers need to consider the full lifecycle of EVs when promoting or adopting them as a solution to environmental challenges.
              • While EVs may be a cleaner alternative to gasoline-powered cars in some circumstances, they are not a silver bullet for addressing environmental issues, and their adoption should be balanced with efforts to reduce overall energy consumption and shift to cleaner sources of energy.

          +1

          Hybrids have the leftover legacy maintenance issues of internal combustion, along with a garbage driving experience much worse than an actual petrol engine or a full EV car.

          Yeah they have good range. That's the only benefit.

          (please note I'm not referring to hybrids like a supercar, I'm referring to typical passenger cars)

    All Tesla vehicles come with access to Standard Connectivity. Standard Connectivity is included in your vehicle, at no additional cost, for eight years beginning on the first day your vehicle was delivered as new by Tesla, or the first day it is put into service (for example used as a demonstrator or service vehicle), whichever comes first.

    I can’t understand how they manage to sell these cars with 4yr 80000km warranties with seemingly no way to extend it here… On the other hand, an $800 discount …

    • Grok on 04/04/2023 - 12:57
      +1

      The battery has an 8 year warranty and the car doesn’t have any other major component to break!

      These cars can do huge mileages with minimal maintenance.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/04/2023 - 13:04

        I'd assume an EV6 has the same minimal maintenance but that has 7 years and unlimited km's… Also you can extend the Tesla warranty in the US but not here for some reason.

        • Grok on 04/04/2023 - 15:15

          The EV6 has expensive factory scheduled servicing to maintain that warranty, the Tesla has no scheduled servicing.

          Every EV other than a Tesla has tradition car components in them not optimised for EVs.

          Tesla will widen the warranty availability later, it literally only came out a few days ago. The extra warranty is on the base warranty not the battery which is 8 years.

          I don’t think you need it, relax. Most of the bad Tesla news you read is by legacy auto vested interests scared of the Tesla disruption.

              @spaceflight: Look at the Munro tear down of the Ford Mach-E on YT, they were appalled at all the excess cooling and other pipes and legacy equipment from the Ford parts bins.

              Almost all competing cars to Tesla don’t have a frunk because they are not optimised for EV, they are either a conversion of an ICE chassis or a crude Gen1 ground up EV.
