The battery on my Prius Prime is getting worse and worse, but I don’t know if it’s worth spending $1k to replace it considering I’m driving like 12 miles a day.Hypothetically, if I were to buy a Tesla, I'd buy new (or near new) with the 8 year/100k mile battery warranty.
With a Prius, I know I can take it to shops in Garden Grove and replace the hybrid battery for about $1k.
With an out of warranty Tesla, um...
isn't that $4k cheese limited to AGI under $75k? so no one here will be able to use it?Low used EV prices makes them more accessible... those are your $30k EVs (even less with the $4k used EV gov cheese).

Sure... but morekaos was always harping how EVs are only for the rich and that they were over $100k.isn't that $4k cheese limited to AGI under $75k? so no one here will be able to use it?
The Tesla interior already feels pretty cheap compare to other cares in similar price range.Speaking of, $35k Tesla is here (well, Mexico first):
Tesla is testing Model 3 with cheaper interior, starting at ~$35,000

Wouldn’t it just run on gas? I mean, the 12-volt battery is still there, so it should just turn into a normal hybrid, right? My Prius Prime did die when the 12-volt battery died.I think if the hybrid battery dies the car will be inoperable or run in limp mode.

Gravity has a funny way of always winning….Blah blah blah stock price. But when we point out how well EV stocks are doing then you are blah blah blah not stock price.
The point of my post is Rivian is delivering above targets and producing above expectations. This is sort of what happened when Tesla started working through their backorders and production issues.
And once Rivian comes out with their R2s (like how Tesla came out with their cheaper 3 and Y)... they will do even better.
Just like your reading... your analysis is... dooomed.
Doom gonna doom.
The engineers may like it but the people don’tSince this is ICE or EV:

Porsche says no fake EV shifting needed because 'The electric engine is better'
No, Porsche’s electric sports cars will not have fake EV shifting. “Why should we make something worse?” Porsche development driver...electrek.co
They didn't want to add fake shifting like the Ioniq 5 N:
“The electric engine is better than an ICE,” Kern explained to Australian media (via Drive). “So we figured there’s no reason to simulate what has been in the past,” he said.
Kern’s comments come after Hyundai launched its first electric performance car, the IONIQ 5 N. Equipped with N E-Shift, Hyundai’s sporty EV simulates the feeling of an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Hyundai said the N-branded sports EV is its most powerful, fun-to-drive model with several track-ready features.
Porsche wasn’t impressed. “We look into what the competition does, but our perspective on this is always why should we make something worse,” Kern said.
