They also happen to be cheaper to run. The "shit range" claim is nonsense. It may be that one of the economies of scale may involve developing a better battery (which does seem to be a popular sport at the moment), but my long distance driving regime involves taking a break every two hour or so and having a cup of coffee while the car recharged would fit that perfectly.

There aren't many trees to hug in Thacker Pass but the war has begun.

Yip, it's called gut instinct, they behave like animals. They can't actually make sensible decisions.

> A BMW is not a sensible car. Now please look at cars that cost what they're worth. The cheapest petrol car brand new and the cheapest electric car brand new that go a decent mileage (a few hundred miles), are £6K and £25K. Electric is a nice idea, but it's nowhere near ready for the public to use. Lithium Ion is not suitable for such a massive amount of power storage.

What is your "sensible" car at £6K? Does it have four wheels? Three? Two? There are electric cars at lower prices than £25K. You do have to be willing to look for them though. I expect that's not going to happen since it is you we are talking to.

This is the silly talk we typically get from this poster.

No, you should wait another hundred years. I want to see your grip on the steering wheel fossilized.

It is hard to find a more ignorant person, even in this group.

That's not so much what is happening, as much as it is simply optimizing for the market. In electronics there are always early adopters who can justify a more expensive unit. Tesla was selling a $35,000 car they made virtually no money on. Then they stopped selling that version. As the market heated up they stopped selling the next lower priced version. I think there was a third version they stopped selling.

It is a well known fact that there is more profit in the luxury cars sold at higher prices. This is what Tesla is doing, rather than simply raising prices to make more money. It only costs a bit more to add the various features, but these features bring a lot higher price.

The cheapest petrol car brand new and the cheapest electric car brand new that go a decent mileage (a few hundred miles), are £6K and £25K. Electric is a nice idea, but it's nowhere near ready for the public to use. Lithium Ion is not suitable for such a massive amount of power storage.

According to this the cheapest car in the UK is about £11.5k.

A couple million people a year buy BMWs that you describe as "not a sensible car" so Im sure many would disagree with you.

You could not buy 6 new cars for $47k. And most people don't just buy the bare minimum car as can be seen from the average price. You also can't meaningfully compare radically dissimilar cars as much of the cost is not just in the propulsion system.

No oil changes? No brake checking. What about mandatory smog or MOT tests - do you ignore those as well?

Probably not but the battery costs are declining and like likely to go further (albeit with blips caused by current world problems)

They are actually not that inflated - Apple's prices are competitive with similar offerings from top tier vendors such as Samsung. In general Apple chooses not to sell the lower cost products in any market so their average prices may seem to be higher.

Similarly Tesla's prices are comparable with other top tier car makers. People buy Tesla cars because they meet their needs better than most others and they avoid some of the issues with pricing that other makers suffer from such as predatory markups from their car dealer network. There have been articles about $50,000 dealer markups for some popular but difficult to obtain models.

A Dacia Sandero is a basic petrol car. The electric cars under £25K have a shorter range than that.

It's amazing you just insult me without any information explaining why you think your viewpoint is correct. But then you are a religious fuckwit of the third degree. Hang on, won't you go to hell for being nasty to me? You'd better go say hail Marys or give the priest a blowjob or whatever nonsense goes on in there.

Bullshit. I used to own a Dacia Sandero. It was £6K. The 4WD version my father still owns, the Duster, that was £10K.

They're morons. BMW hasn't even invented FWD yet. And they're no better than a VW, at a fraction of the price.

I'm comparing the cheapest car I can get that will do a sensible range on petrol or electricity.

It's called common sense. People who buy new tech are fools that fund it for the rest of us.

They aren't sold in most of the world and I can't buy one, so I don't care about it. But I guess that's what you drive, right? Then there is the issue that you are only talking about purchase price, not the life cycle cost. That's the talk of an ignoramus.

You know so little about it and yet speak as if you are an expert. That's the talk of an ignoramus.

Hang on, won't you go to hell for being nasty to me? You'd better go say hail Marys or give the priest a blowjob or whatever nonsense goes on in there.

You are an ignoramus because you want to compare high end electric cars to the world's cheapest ICE car that very few people buy. In your ignorant mind this is a reasonable comparison, like the guy who bitches about BEVs never being practical because he only buys old, used cars for $5,000 or less, as if there will never be a used BEV at that price.

No one cares if I insult an ignoramus, especially god. In fact, I probably earn bonus points.

Please stop making up your own alternative facts, eh? Stop being an ignoramus. I guess that's not possible.

I bought an expensive car because it's what I wanted. I could have bought a model 3 for $35,000 and would already have saved $4,000 on fuel expenses. In another six years I'll have saved $10,000, bringing the effective price to $25,000 and still dropping. I drove my last vehicle 250,000 miles. That would equate to $25,000 savings making the Tesla model 3 effectively a $10,000 car. Yeah, and it's such a nicer car to drive than a Romanian Yugo replacement.

As Lithium runs out, the prices will skyrocket. And what world problems? There aren't any real ones, just ones caused by silly governments.

It irritates me anyone buys that shit. Especially when someone with an Iphone tries to email me a photograph.

Samsung inflate equally. I have a £30 phone which equals a £250 Iphone or Samsung.

Yes, those round corners and brushed aluminium make it worth much more.

They're no better, they're just a thing to show off like a Ferrari.

How is that predatory?

I have bought a £500 car that has lasted 5 years so far.....

Nonsense, but of course someone selling you an investment opportunity won't tell
you that.

Lithium is mined from dried-up sea beds, because some of the dried salts have useful
concentrations of that element There's lots of those, and the most economic are being
mined now, while the next-most-economic will be mined in a decade. The metal isn't
rare, and the price will disappoint investors who buy today at a big premium.

This guy just digs himself in a hole, deeper and deeper, showing his extreme ignorance.

He reminds me of DLUNU or whatever goofy name the guy goes by. I think people call him "always wrong". I think there's a new owner of that title.
