I swear to the almighty gods of probability that smoke detector batteries fail in the detector on the highest ceiling of your home at 2:24AM the day of your early morning flight for vacation. beep…………………….beep…………………..beep……….
" The consumption of gasoline in the United States amounted to some 8.46 million barrels per day in March 2024. In the period of consideration, gasoline consumption reached its highest four-week average in July 2023." -Statista
A barrel of gasoline is 31.5gallons. Do the math. That is 266,490,000 gallons of gasoline PER DAY!!!
I like it it because I own XOM stock……..keep buying those trucks and SUVs people!
Before the anti-EVers use this for destroying the EV, let me say that the EV’s battery is much less than $40,000. In fact, my Nissan Leaf battery is still going strong since 2015.
That’s ironic! I was woken up by my dachshund this morning, with him jumping above my head in bed, freaked out, because the smoke detector in the kitchen was beeping. After I changed it, it took him about a 1/2 hr to calm down and relax. Enjoy your vacation. I have yardwork to do today. Want to trade???
Had to go back ….. after reading all the comments ….I forgot what the original plot line was about ……… So, how will they carry the battery ……. maybe a backpack for $50,000 ….. ;)
With just cable leads, competition will bring down the price of batteries; unless the E.W. has a proprietary connector with a lot of extra leads that check if the connector has been damaged or removed or bypassed.
It’s not unlike inkjet printers. The printers are essentially free to get you to buy lots and lots of ink. I prefer my color laser, it costs more, but the cartridges last forever.
He should show the price in yen…they control 75% of the global precious metals market that make up batteries. And we thought dealing with OPEC was exhausting!

LOL… try to start it after being out all night on a frigid winter morning or when it just spontaneously combusts with no reason all on its own.

Similar proportion to actual cost of vehicle versus the cost of the add-ons one doesn’t want but can’t avoid.

That’s about what you would have to pay for a new battery for a Tesla Model S, installed.
