  • And I’m using my AC, we’re both using power. How many times has the government told one of these companies to use less power because the grid can’t handle the strain their servers put on it?

    And it’s not like these companies aren’t herding people toward these cloud services. A few weeks ago my Google Cloud storage was maxed out so I wanted to delete some photos/videos off their cloud while keeping them on my phone. Legit couldn’t figure out how to do that and just ended up deleting stuff permanently.








  • That’s still at max, 6 years of data. Am I reading that right? But, to be fair there’s no indication of a dramatic drop off, at worst that data is incomplete.

    I wouldn’t be worried about buying a brand new EVs. My problem is that I exclusively buy 3-5 year old cars because that’s the most cost effective way to buy them. So if I bought a 5 year old EV and owned it for another 5 years it’s a 10 year old EV which is the very edge of the data is be able to find. That kind of unknown is a bit unsettling along with some other personal use case issues.

    Thank you for the info though.



    1. I’m wary of any data coming from Tesla themselves.
    2. That’s kind of comparing apples and oranges. Also an engine rebuild is also considerably cheaper than battery replacements.
    3. That link sounds more theory than reality. A lot of “if” and “may” used in that article.
    4. 100,000 miles over ten years isn’t much. Reaching that amount of miles is considered less than the minimum for modern cars. And it’s only one example, I’ve seen examples of the exact opposite.
    5. How old and how many miles did the EVs you’ve owned have when you sold them?

    There’s not a ton of data on older EVs so it’s kind of hard get a clear picture on their longevity. I know they’re constantly improving and I’ll eventually get one, just not today 🤷🏻.
