And even if the battery is degraded with maybe 5%, it's still an amazing car.
Lets say you needed to replace the battery one day anyway. You'll have saved on every other reparation, because EVs dont have moving parts that breaks all the time like in old cars.
Yeah, my personal experience and watching mechanics online... The turbo engine with a cvt is going to be as big a nightmare down the road as an EV battery. EV motors with a single gear is so much easier to make reliable except the trickiness of battery chemistry.. AWD by having independent motors front and back....
EVs are full of pointless gadgets that break, and Tesla motors poop out.
