ive never seen someone so unhappy about driving a brand new audi xD

75000km in my model 3 and easily the best car I have owned so far

🤔What will your fuel savings mean when you have to replace the battery at some point in the future that will cost you more than half the cost of the entire car when you bought it.

The reason I don't have an EV is because it don't do pops, bangs, bwap bwap, braappppp like my BMW M4.

What this all was about... You are having some serious chrisis or what.

I had a kia EV, in terms of space and power more than i ever need, but i do long stints(120 km one way or more) but the tax benefits are decreasing and as a companycar i had costs of 300 euro a month (12%tax) but if i remain using the same car in 1,5 years that will be 500 euro a month. Looking at a diesel or PHEV for the next car, cause ice is 23% tax and EV is gonna be 22% tax.

lol, all the people who are saying that it's cheaper to run a petrol/diesel car... maybe you're from the US of A. but fuel costs a lot in much of the world, as well as service and repairs, and of course we haven't spoken about environmental costs. Those who don't drive much, I get it, going electric doesn't make much difference, and it does cost a lot both to buy and environmentally up front. If you were to just say, I want a car that goes from A to B without much hastle and i don't care that I'm putting diesel fumes into the air, then live up to it. You can also say that electric cars will have higher depreciation rates because battery prices are going down. But I find it so funny is the ignorant people who can only come up with the reason of "it costs a lot to replace the battery" when battery replacements for electric cars are probably even more rare than ICE engine replacements and transmission replacements, which aren't exactly cheap either.

I'd love to get a scrapped tesla, remove the battery, and figure out how to install a diesel motor to produce electricity for the electric motors. A diesel electric Tesla would be awesome!

Gone back to oil, oil changes, timing chains, transmission, transmission oil, o2, o2 sensors, fuel injectors, pistons, piston rods, valves, valve springs, gaskets, head gaskets, gasoline/ diesel. Yea. Makes sense.

The reason I drive petrol is because there are no electric cars in my price category.

I agree with you that electric cars are more relaxed overall, less noise, less vibrations but this video kinda comes off as you presenting EVs in the most favorable light possible, and looking for solutions to their downsides while not offering the same favor to ICE cars. - ICE cars that allow you to precondition the interior before you enter them exist - You can use gloves to avoid having the pump nozzle leaving the nasty diesel smell on your hands. I think a latex glove + maybe a scented wipe after throwing the glove away should keep your hand smelling very nice. - Waking up to a fully charged electric car at home is so nice only because it prevents you from having to go to a charging station which is a bigger hassle when compared to an ICE car. - Adding to the previous point, your audi doesn't seem very economical with only 45 mpg uk, added to the relatively small fuel tank it leads to not covering that many more miles than in your previous EV, another diesel might have made you feel that benefit more. - Speaking of clunks and whizzes and bangs, when you go over something in an ICE car and you hear a scrape or something hit, you wonder if your front bumper hasn't been scratched too badly and if your exhaust hasn't been damaged. When it happens in an electric car and you happen to be driving a Hyundai ioniq 5 in Canada, it might be the start of a series of events that leads to you receiving a $60 k (canadian) quote for replacing the scratched battery and your car eventually being written off.

Thousands of moving parts, compared to the tens of thousands of electrical connections in the humungous battery in the EV, I'll take the ICE vehicle thanks. Go watch a few video's showing thermal runaway and it might change your mind.

So the moral of the story is that...EV's are better than ICE! Love it!

I'm retired now, at the time my annual mileage dropped drastically and it's still falling. I have experienced thousands of miles in my friend's Model 3 Tesla. If I could easily upgrade to an EV I would. But with my requirements it would only offer marginal benefits, with a very substantial investment. Perhaps one day, but not yet.

A petrol or diesel Tesla would be much more successful for Tesla.

Is that you Joe?

Good for you for going back to diesel, but no manual transmission? Coma.

My 21 6 speed Kia forte got mid 40's mpg and was about $40 to fill (before Bidens prices kicked in) Absolutely no reason to buy some soulless EV trashbox. If my Kia was available in a diesel with the manual I absolutely would've went that route but the corrupt epa said we can't have them.

Sorry dudes. Real person here. In 5 years of my model 3, I’ve replaced….tires
