    Tesla is doomed. 10 year old cars. They are not repairable, they are like an iphone. Battery done 25 grand. etc. They are getting out of the game before the maintenance mayhem.

    • I thought maintenance is where all the money isnb
    • where did you hear that? Not according to this chart https://autoimage.ca….hotroddy
    • ^ffs link brokenhotroddy
    • antique car collectors is not tesla demohotroddy
    • Not doomed, but as far as used market... not sure anyone wants to invest 25k into a worn in, problematic, out of warranty 'new' car you want to experience freshprophetone
    • Be real, you're looking for a used car... 10 yr old Teslas are going for unrealistic asking prices, in all cases you'll need to add 30k to just baseline the carprophetone
    • To move these cars they'll need to be priced at less than 20k probs, slightly better than a roller as about to not roll at allprophetone
    • They need to get to a point where the battery is easily serviceable and about 1/3 of the size and 1/5 of the costprophetone
    • Or like a bowling ball made of dark matter that you can just 'pop in' every 5 or so yearsprophetone
    • I heard it from Elon himself. He said it’s hard to break into the market without the dealer repair and parts revenue, and that allows big auto to sell cheapernb
    • Take your car in for some wires and spark plugs, it’ll be like $250nb
    • I don’t know, though. I just heard Elon say this. I don’t anything about the economics of automobilesnb
    • You also need to understand the liability of a dealership that would take a tesla as a trade and their shop is not set up to make it ready to sellBonSeff
    • Exactly, w/ an ICE car you can toss in new plugs, starter, brakes, battery etc easily, is back on road, flexible... Tesla requires 25k at once or is a boat anchorprophetone
    • Most dealers, shops are gonna be pretty hands off service-wise, they run that risk of losing high % of the money of older trade in Tesla if dies sitting on lotprophetone
    • The question I have been wondering is there are so many new car brands.. all with less than 5 years under their belt. seems crazy risky to commit to themautoflavour
    • Not doomed but a reality check: they will get lots of competition and they need to step up with quality and not just increase prices.NBQ00
    • The Netflix of the car industry. Not doomed but will loose a lot of the market share.Chimp

      Also, at this point, I'd not want to give that cunt a % of £48k+ if I was looking to buy an electric vehicle.      Nairn
    • lol, I had to check costs for ^that note. I had it minded that Tesla 3s were about £35K+.
      People's car? By fucking far not.      Nairn
