#1 I seems to recall that there was a federal law requiring automotive manufacturers to support their products for some 10 to 25 years from date of manufacture? (Exact length of time varies depending on the web sites I checked in a quick research.)

yes I actually tried to do my homework! (Sometime.)

#2 Since this financial dilemma is the now obvious, I would suggest all parties holding "E-Vehicle" stock shares consider selling them now; EV's do not pay in anyway, recycling, environmentally, nor in plain financial viability; new or used. Get out while the going is good.

I am not sure in the US, but in Australia, if they have a battery for $14,000 and will replace it then that is considered supporting.

#4 It used to be 10 years from date of manufacture, SCFI. I believe that has changed to just the warranty period.

#8 In northern areas with salted roads life of the EV electronics is severely compromised. Also as with any computer systems planned obsolescence is ever present flaw. So you go in for service and you are told sorry your system needs to be replaced with new system. Windows 7,8,9,10,11 to infinity and beyond. That's why mechanics in my area actively look for prior 2000 models. One fellow with 50 year old truck keeps getting people wanting for him to sell his truck (10 times he was approached in one week).
