When you need new batteries $50+k.
So basically every 6 - 8 years your car has no resale value

Thats why I didnt get solar because the solar energy storage unit costs 10K and needs to be replaced every 10 years....there goes your savings on your SCE bill
That’s good to know. I just got a new roof without solar. Maybe I didn’t miss the boat after all.
Which means it has become worthless.
I don't think even 'cars for kids' or a junk yard will take it off your hands.
If no one will take it, that means you are stuck with it.
So for all you Utopians
That’s only for systems that are independent of the grid. Solar systems themselves are good for 25 years or more
Look guys, there’s been a lot of negative statements in this thread. In the spirit of fairness, lets listen to an expert from the other side..
I am no expert but if you do not have a energy storage system you have no way of banking the electricity you have, so if there is a power outage and you have no storage system you have no electricity.
She is the poster girl for why "identity" hires are horrible. There are 10 year olds that speak better than this cackling buffoon .

Educate me Puds...what does independent of the grid mean?....My neighbor bought years ago a system on the cheap and he doesnt pay a penny to SCE. The rules have changed since then its not so affordable anymore.
The grid/system now requires most people to send their electric power generated into the main grid and then it’s returned. Don’t ask me why. I believe, from what I was told, battery charging can only occur while the grid is up, so if you use up your stored power and the grid is down, they won’t recharge until power is restored.
If I was going to get any type of backup system it would be a solar powered generator. More economical and not grid reliant.
I've seen those solar generators in ads on TV....they start around $1200
Yeah but in the meantime with their smoke and mirrors, the libtards made the taxpayers subsidize much of these.Which means it has become worthless.

Good ones are more, but reasonable compared to battery backup systems..

Volkswagen tests new solid state battery that shows no signs of degradation over 300,000 miles - Volkswagen of Akron Blog

a dealership says their battery is the newest bestest..!!Then you find out if you read the article that those numbers are projections not actual results.
“In fact, through its Salzgitter, Germany’s, battery company PowerCo., VW has completed well over 1,000 charging cycles of the QuantumScape battery cell, which corresponds to a total of more than 31,000 miles for a typical EV or even much more than the average life of a vehicle..”
Pardon my skepticism on anything you post as a fact. But sales brochures are hardly scientific, and rarely factual. Much like you yourself.
Sorta like bragging about a new vw with parts from a new contractor? Did you read the article? It was just a projection based on 31,000 miles worth of charging. It’s tantamount to saying this car made it 100,000 miles, so we know it’ll last 1 million. It just doesn’t work.
Just a bit of a tangent.
Bought my g/f a VW in 2014 after her Toyota was totaled by a drunk driver.
Her driver side headlamp burned out so as a useful tool trying to be a man, I thought this would be an easy task. A few youtube videos later and after removing a few supports and pulling the battery I was able to complete in two hours what should be a simple 5 minute job.
I will never buy another VW product.

Big companies sometimes make big mistakes. I am truly concerned about FORD surviving in the long run.
