#1 CONSIDER THIS - Feb 9, 2024 JD Power quotes the following battery replacement estimates for Tesla models, including labor: Model 3: At least $13,000. Model S: $13,000-$15,000. Model X: At least $14,000.

Hey so an idiot who buys the car new used or salvage yard (repairable i.e. needs new battery) well do the math = everyone else has, but the idiot who bought the EV in the first place... DUH!

How long before the EV owners are hit with a US EPA and/or a State EV Battery Disposal tax/fee?

#3 /\ No worries CG, the "disposal fee" will be added in to the initial purchase price. You'll find it in just below the sales tax entry.

#5 All I say is, make a particular model rechargeable car for 5 years, and I'll look at it. For a baseline, ya know.
