  • I didn’t read the whole thread before linking that video, so a few things to consider.

    1. There is no federal law stating that sleeping in your is illegal but, some states and or cities do. So if you’re in a state or city where it IS ILLEGAL, definitely don’t do this lol. They’ll just arrest you.
    2. If it IS LEGAL where you are, theoretically you don’t have to move and can stay as long as you want. But, the cops will escalate things and start looking for other reasons to arrest our fuckery you.
    3. Have you considered going to a 24hr gym or something similar? So if anyone hassles you, you’re just going to the gym. Just an idea.
    4. If your renting a camp site you do have “Campers Rights” and can tell the cops to fuck off. I remember watching a similar video to the one I linked about that specifically. I’ll add it later if I can find it. Best of luck though 🖖



  • 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 🤷🏻.
