Cost of EV Batteries

This is titled "Cost of EV batteries" and starts out with a comment of the F150 Lightning MSRP increasing $8500.00 across the board.

Then it instantly morphs to Bugattis, China, Ukraine, environmentalism, Nuclear waste, fender flares, gas pumps, Australia, Chile, Argentina, levels of chargers, J17772 protocols, PG&E power, Nissan Leafs, Carvana, Automaker market caps, and OEM navigation systems.
Nothing about wheel bearings, or lug wrenches?

Helpful as always. You should become a moderator.

Deleted, not worth arguing about

The GPS was nearly unusable as delivered so I connected to my home wifi and did an update. It said I had the latest version but it let me go ahead anyway. Took about 1/2 hour. Seems to be much better, but when I looked for Lowe's hardware it wanted to take me somewhere in Kansas. LOL.

Yah. Back in the 2016 day (or at least for us) we weren’t able to update the maps so glad you got it sorted out.

From what I gather they refined the suspension a bit in the last couple years. Ours was fine but felt a little understeerish going hard into a corner with all that torque.

Wife still misses it. Easier to get in the garage and easier to park than our model Y. Fun car.

Hey, not sure if this would be handy for you as it depends on what you do and where you go. Where we are there are a ton of Tesla destination chargers at hotels, golf courses, touristy places, wineries etc. If you find yourself going to these places and they don’t have the standard J1772 you can get one of these and utilize Tesla destination chargers. Remember, these are not superchargers. But they are handy. We sold it for what we bought it for after we sold the car.

Many OEM navigation systems are not that great unless the exact city address can be entered.
I use the phone for search and go.

There is a pretty active leaf owners forum. I have forgotten much about the leaf but these guys may have answers to any questions you have.

Thanks. The only complaint I have so far is that the GPS isn't real great, but the acceleration sure is!

Yah I remember the GPS being a little clunky but part of that was my fat fingers. :). But your right, it’s got some jam. What year?

…Market share in Canada year over year, in the most recent periods has gone from 4.7% to 8.7%. The expectation is for that number to double in the next year. That doesn't look bleak to me…

Just think, at that rate in 5 years the market share will be 125%. To bad in real life it just doesn’t ever work out. Projections are just that, projections; in the end reality always wins out.

From Carvana. Easy, smooth.. everything went well.

Have heard good things about carvana. We don’t (I think) have it here in Canada.
