This week's EV bargain that I'm not buying

I am logging in purely to highlight how disgraceful I feel that comment is.

I am a PHEV owner because the EV market has been a sellers market for a significant period of time with demand bias pricing.

I would be a ICE driver if I wasn't fortunate enough to be in a position to finance what would be an severely overpriced vehicle, if I didn't have connections to the UK pre-brexit.

You must take better care when introducing such significant language as this into what is just a car forum. Posts like that diminish the very real challenges people face in adopting something they may feel is morally correct. There is weight associated your introducing this concept that I don't feel you have even attempted to consider when you posted that, and to say I'm disappointed with this type of discourse is a severe understatement.

A moral compass is not a device which can be used to overcome a sellers market.

Read it again, it's a ChatGPT response @unkel - someone's yanking your chain.

What is it thats so bad about the Model X that’s making it unsellable? Like what makes it so much worse than an out of warranty Model S? Pricepoint? Reliability?

It's the case for any expensive out of warranty EV, not just Tesla

Who's gonna fix them?

Fine buying a Leaf for 5k that was barely 20k new at the time, but I wouldn't buy an ID4 that cost 60k new and then after 3 years it's out warranty, the warranty is rubbish in them, 100k miles, some do that in 2 years.

Your local Indy won't have a clue how to fix, main dealers will ride you and the few electrical engineering places you find, have more work than they can get through and not gonna want your problem.

VW and other auto giants don't want to give extended warranties as they want you buying brand new, they basically become throwaway cars when high mileage is up on them.

Have you seen the BOM on a modern EV? High performance electric motors, battery, transmission, bms, cooling, ecu control unit, onboard charger, dc-dc converter, it's insane money, 15-25k to replace a simple engine and petrol tank.

Go look at donedeal for EV's with over 100k miles, nothing there, outside of a dealer giving a vague 12 month warranty on yokes they are unsellable privately besides the old Leafs and you'd want a solicitor to look at the warranty

Industry standard of whichever is first of 100k miles/8 year warranty on EV's is terrible.

Nice that's very reasonable, yeah I've heard good things about BMW extended warranty.

Most used EV’s are overpriced due to lack of supply. I don’t think a 2020 Ioniq is worth anymore than €23K unless it was an exceptional example with tiny mileage.

Been for sale ages. High enough mileage for the year.

There are currently more than 200 ID3’s on done deal, it was less than 100 earlier this year, so s/h supply, has been gradually shooting up up, has more than doubled in 3 months. Good, if you are buying used, as with that much supply, and the new ID3 incoming, prices are only going to reduce.
