Tesla EVs also kaboomed so many times (and even Mercedes EVs) despite people paying a premium of double the price compared to those China's cars like from BYD
I mentioned in a few post way ahead that for Warranty 99% of the time, AD can find a way to void it. They can easily push it to u that u have charge the battery to 100% causing it to degradation. Being a smarter car, all charging data(anything below 20% and above 80% is damaging) will be recorded. Battery can be referred only to the cell itself and when they fix it, they can only fix it to make sure it will move and not up to 100% battery efficiency. Even with warranty, AD still can charge u manpower and its up to them on how much it cost. Why I know? Cos I was from the car industry myself and those terms and conditions are partly from me as well. Don't trust marketing too much la. What CATL and BYD battery tech, a lot of times, Chinese figures.. I think most people will understand how much brownie points has been added in and published. 自己讲自己爽 Their words, their research, your money.Fret not, because BYD dealers now offer 10-years free servicing and 10-years battery warranty!
Does Tesla cars come with 10-years battery warranty? I don't think so since my understanding is that Tesla's battery is less efficient and not as good as CATL and BYD's batteries. (note that there are some Tesla cars that actually come with BYD batteries as Tesla bought some BYD batteries for use in their more premium cars like Tesla Model Y!)
So I suppose you mean that the same is true for electric batteries of cars like Tesla, MG, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford electric vehicles etc.?
Since Tesla is using a lot of CATL and BYD electric batteries in their Tesla cars especially the premium models like Tesla Model Y!
whenever i see people recommend ev due to being fast. when 99.9% of the road users have slow reaction time and thinks that it is ok to be at lane 1 at 90km/h to 120km/hMy point is ADs will push high cost warranty responsibilities to users and u will be the one who kana end of the day. But since u so confident of CATL and BYD, go get them lo. U fret not mah.. got warranty. U almost like a paid spokesperson liao..So I suppose you mean that the same is true for electric batteries of cars like Tesla, MG, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford electric vehicles etc.?
If this is true, scary indeed!
And BMW is also using CATL batteries!
Mind you, CATL and BYD supplies more than 50% of all electric batteries used in EVs produced all around the world (including US, Germany, and France cars' companies)!
You can say whatever you want and go buy whatever you please.
just because i felt the hyundai kona pick up is comparable to a 250hp ice, i should recommend it?
523hp seal with $5588 road tax which can do 0-100 at 3.8s but top speed is 180km/h vs a 250hp $1202 road tax ice 0-100 at 6.2s with 250km/h top speed. I should recommend the seal just because it can get from 1 traffic light to another in the shortest time? people should not rec ev over ice due to it being fast when most of it does not even have the capacity to be fast.
You mentioned you were in the car industry. An interesting news caught my attention recently. Exxon is considering selling off it's network of petrol stations in Spore. Is this a harbinger of things to come?
Another extremely weird statement. According to you 99% of the time AD can find a way to void warranty?
Big companies off load its assets from time to time based on the CEO and board wants and demands or if its policies linked, political. I do know Chinese petrol companies are keen to expend its retails here. Good timing, I guess?
When its a high cost repair, the slimmer chance the ADs will take it on la. Of cos ICE car repair are more modular parts based so cost wont be that scarily high compared to battery powered cars. Example, Blade batteries are stack and packed neatly into the platform, god knows how long will the car stays in the workshop. Lighter alloy are used around the newer cars and making repairs tougher to repair compared to older heavy steels.Another extremely weird statement. According to you 99% of the time AD can find a way to void warranty?
Heng for all my 4 previous cars, the AD honoured the warranty each time. I must be super lucky to be part of the 1% for all 4 cars.
What are the odds?
Singapore don't have the know how, likely to adopt European standard.
honestly I don't have a thing for any of them.. buy what u like to believe lor cos I have seen too many dirty stuffs on a daily basis across a couple companies then
The thread title is "EV or ICE car" but nobody should discuss them here? ROFL indeed.
Haha. Just list down the pros and cons for EV and ICE. It is going everywhere.The thread title is "EV or ICE car" but nobody should discuss them here? ROFL indeed.
I . The turbo charged 300 to 500hp power cars tuned with 2000-2500 cc engine are real fun to drive( local or Malaysia highway pursuit) but they have the shortcomings of slight turbo lag. I played turbo charged cars for 15 years, fortunate to have full ECU/ tuning access. For my own cars, I opted a well balance between street drivability & crazy power chase.
