This doesn’t surprise me at all, these types love to find any excuses to pander to the white supremacy segment, which unfortunately has been quite emboldened of late. It’s important to call this behaviour out when it occurs, and fortunately that has been happening.
I was a Pirate Party member briefly almost a decade ago. I realised within a very short time that unfortunately, even then they were more right than Greens and Labor. And weren’t really a good fit for me. They have some understanding of the importance of tech, but they lean more libertarian in philosophy than anything, and their high preference for Libertarian party is no surprise at all.
I think the ratio on your comments Lemmy-wide speaks for itself. If it quacks etc etc. Maybe think about how you come across to people, and if you’ve been called a troll and blocked multiple times by people on a variety of communities, then perhaps some self reflection might be warranted.
From the article you linked:
"Factors contributing to used EV sales trends cited by the report authors included:
The authors of the report did caution the EV pricing findings were volatile because of the small amount of vehicles involved."
I would say the biggest issue is likely that new EVs are coming rapidly down in price, with longer range, so a second hand EV is comparatively not as good value currently. Many people are waiting for slightly bigger batteries or different types of ev, and I’ve seen at least half a dozen BYD Sharks on the road, one I talked to the guy had literally bought it yesterday, and many of them are getting tax benefits to buy new.
You are making out it’s all about battery concern where there’s much more going on.
So, you’re a moderator in a politics community, and you troll in various places on Lemmy, and like to threaten if you are challenged. Interesting.
Can’t help wondering if the other mods here might want to look into whether that’s a good thing… or not.

Given the EV market is barely a decade old, I think it’s a bit soon to make such ridiculous claims, that myself and others have given many, many sources of facts (not feelings, which is literally all you are providing).
It’s clear you are quite happy being influenced by scary propaganda c/o the oil industry - you’re still living in 2019 in Scummo’s “ruined weekend” land.
And having a peek at your other activity, I’d like to echo some others opinions - you really don’t belong here, maybe just leave, troll. You are tedious and just seem to want a fight with anyone who will take your bait. Boring.
Dude. I’ve provided the receipts with literally every post. You have provided nothing. Give it up already, you are ideologically hamstrung and unable to accept that you are wrong.
I think that’s already been proven, at least in the case of Teslas, that the batteries DO actually last that long on average?
Batteries that lose range but still functioning generally are being swapped out but then sold as house batteries, still incredibly useful and bigger than most house batteries. So they are not a total loss and largely still functioning. Newer battery systems allow swap out of individual cells.
If you look in the comments, someone swapped out the BMW to a cheap ICE car and the Tesla was still cheaper, lol.
I don’t know where you are but electricity prices here have been going down as we add more renewables to the grid - there’s a lot of volatility, but the overall trend is not increasing. State by state there is a huge difference in fuel mix, and wholesale prices generally peak in winter during higher demand. If you are talking about retail prices, you can be smart about that and work out what is best for your use case, I am with Amber which gives direct access to wholesale prices with a flat daily access fee slightly higher than most providers, but my neighbour who was off grid realised they could get much better value especially in winter through one provider with a very cheap overnight rate - they have a Tesla and fairly fast AC charging at home, and makes more sense for them as they drive more than me. I have a second hand EV with an upgraded 30kwh battery that has not really lost noticeable range in the almost 3 years I’ve owned it. Most EV owners have solar, and mostly charge for less or free from home - I’m one of them.
Where is this guy egregiously wrong, in your opinion?
You are lowballing the cost of replacing an engine significantly: it MIGHT be as low as $3000, it could be over $10,000. You also are completely ignoring the plethora of moving parts in an ICE vehicle that can fail. The drivetrain in an ICE vehicle contains 2,000+ moving parts typically, whereas the drivetrain in an EV contains around 20. This makes for a massive reduction in maintenance costs over the lifetime of the vehicle, which you also don’t take into consideration in total cost of ownership.
Dude, you’re on c/collapse, what about it do you think is terrible?
An incorrect assumption you have made is that batteries fail at a higher rate than major components on an ICE car. It’s a misunderstanding of the relative risk. Like how people hop in their car every day no worries but are afraid to fly.
Also is 100,000 miles or 160,000 km, not 100,000 km as the current warranty standard. And like any new technology, they really don’t know exactly how long they are going to last, so at this stage manufacturers are hedging their bets.

I’m hoping to start a Friendica instance, it’s been around for a long time and actually has events, which is something NO other social network has managed to add and one of the main reasons people I know who don’t like Facebook will feel compelled to use it, there’s no other easy way to create and invite people to events.
I also tried to get people to try G+, before that Diaspora, and neither got many people interested: but I think Fedi has now proved its not going away. There needs to be sustained local push to relocalise communities, this is happening in a few places, and enough nontechy people are starting to really understand the danger of FB and the silo mentality.
It was a facetious question. Clearly you wouldn’t with such misguided preconceptions.
I’m with Amber, and while I don’t have a battery yet, their VPP offering does appear different to most. I’d be wanting to check the conditions if this goes ahead as I would not want to sign up if I wasn’t allowed to control when power is sent to to the grid.
Correct, new EVs have even better batteries than first gen too. My first EV I replaced the battery, but not because they’re was anything wrong with it: that battery likely would have lasted at least twice as long, but an enterprising engineer created a battery upgrade that doubled the original range in the same footprint, and we can expect further improvements in batteries, so I expect to upgrade again in future, maybe 10-15 years, and double the range again.
Old EV batteries can be reused and make ideal off grid house batteries.
Have you actually bought a second hand EV?
Never a bad time for a DieHard quote 😎
That’s fantastic news.
