High mileage electric bikes and cars coming soon

Simply glossing over the fact that not spending $7000/year for years to recover the $49k spend on the car is not the same as saving $7000 a year. That doesn't happen until year 8.

 

I compared a current DD to a future DD, how would I know if I'm saving money if I didn't compare my current DD?

Give me an example of another econobox I should have included.

Tell me what expenses I glossed over on the EV and inflated on others, I keep asking this and no one seems to answer.

Did I save money on fuel and maintenance or not?

 

Good to know you don't actually have an answer.

 

I feel like tossing a chum bomb in here but I'm not reading the posts, so I would never get to find out what gear that kicks the discussion into.

 

But would it have saved me as much as I'm saving now? If not, then I wouldn't have looked at it vs an EV unless it provided a feature I felt was worth it.

Still waiting to know which numbers I over/under inflated

 

Ludicrous mode apparently.

 

Depends...was your electric wonder perfect for 8 years and never needed any tires, breaks, tie rod ends, wheel bearings or anything not covered under warranty? Have you stopped driving the truck all together for 8 years? Let me know when you get there and we'll discuss the results. Send me a PM in year 8.

 

It'll need cheaper tires, probably won't need brakes for a very long time since the brakes are really only used below 15mph or so. Anything else would be an expense transferred from one vehicle to the next. Instead of needing rod-ends for the truck I would need them on the car. Instead of needing tires on the truck I'd need them on the car, instead of needing wheeling bearings on the truck I'd need them on the car. So the cost isn't increased by having two vehicles it's transferred if anything and at a longer interval, usually at a lower cost.

 

You cartianly can compare them, how much does one cost and how much does the other cost, see we can compare them.

 

If you only had your RV, like I only had my truck, then you are correct, The tahoe would most likely be a great purchase.

 

Ya, but if you had an RV you could sell your house, and live in the RV. Think of the money you'd save.

 

This thread makes me want to stomp a kitten. Too much maff and shit.
