    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I could argue that with the onset of these vehicles every house should have 480v three phase available.

    Non-Electric Lawnmowers

    Report back when used for awhile. One of our neighbors several houses down has/had one but I noticed they normally used a regular mower. I do see used ones all the time on FB marketplace, so that also makes me pause. My opinion on the electric start unless you have an injury, save the money and...

    Patrick Mahomes' father arrested on suspicion of DWI

    Nobody is excusing the behavior here. I’m not quite sure you understand the difference between an addict and someone who just drinks a lot. There is a difference.

    Of course it does. That’s not anywhere close to my point.

    And I’d wager you know plenty more that do not find alternative means.

    True, but multiple offenses is a pretty strong indication of a problem.

    Perhaps some are actual recalls, but I do know with certainty Tesla doesn’t have the only vehicles that perform OTA software updates. You obviously cannot fix recall related mechanical issues with software updates.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I’d almost guarantee it does. When I had manual/clutch cars I would use engine braking. I never had to replace the front brakes (drive wheels) but wore out the back ones at around 100k. Was told that was common if you engine brake; saves big on brake wear especially the drive wheels.

    You’re crazy if you think all of that upselling is going away when you go in for a tire rotation. Yes, the ICE related stuff will be gone, but they will still try to upsell you; ie alignments, new created snake oils like magical battery conditioning, etc. Electric motors and batteries aren’t...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Please see my other posts… The only critical difference to this point is ICE vs Electric power. All other roles needs are still there. In terms of the original response, not just talking repair technicians here. You still ‘need’ all those people in the body shop, in the finance department*...

    -EV still has a heat management system for the batteries correct? (Coolant or equivalent system) I know I’ve seen EVs with radiators… -EVs still have transmissions, they may not be multi ratio but they still have them. Most modern cars these have no regular service intervals anyway. -Spark...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Literally the only differences between an EV and ICE is the engine vs motor/battery and ancillary equipment related to both. This means for the scope of service, the only roles eliminated by EVs are literally oil changers and ICE engine repair specialists. All the other systems like heat/climate...
