Getting 2/3 of your money back after 5 years is kind of crazy. Of course, it depends on many factors. But at that rate, itās cheaper to buy than lease.
Im sorry but tying those numbers solely to inflation is disingenuous - at best. My anecdotal evidence regarding cost to repair/maintain is that prices are up a little over the past few years, but not a ton.
There are many decent reasons to get extended warranties (I get them on most of my ICE...
Totally get it. I drive both EVs and ICEs. Each have their benefits.
But to compare 15 year old EV tech and infrastructure to 100+ year old ICE tech and infrastructure isnāt really fair. iCE has had a century to develop tech and infrastructure. You would have to compare a 1935 ICE to a 2024 EV...
If all the cars were EVs, they would be at scale and cheap. And you would have a charging infrastructure so you can charge in 5 minutes. For this argument to hold, you would have to compare EVs with 100 years of development to brand new ICE cars. Which means there would barely be any gas...
I drive all sorts of cars. And I have to say that generative breaking is my favorite feature. One peddle driving is really cool. Took a little to get used to it, but itās a nice way to drive.
I got an extended warranty on a couple other cars. In both cases, I got about 70-80% of the premium back for repairs. So, it was essentially a few hundred bucks for peace of mind. But financially, I would have been better off without it. Though I donāt really regret it.
I did get an extended...
How often would it come up for you? I see that alert maybe once a year? But I guess I donāt drive too much at night. And I drink a crap ton of coffee anyway lol
I have ASS enabled on all my gas cars. I think it is fine and most of the complaints do not really resonate with me. But, I will say my one minor gripe is that you do have a delay in getting power to the car. Now, most of the time you are at a light so it's no big deal. Where it's been a...
I have had vehicles with ASS for probably 15 years. None of them have had any starter or battery etc issues. Oddly enough, my cars with ASS typically keep their original battery from purchase for about 8-10 years. Never replaced or had an issue with any starter.
Yeah, yelling at someone is a deal breaker for me. Sorry you have had to deal with crap service. People don't get it - yes, it's harder to offer good service, but boy do you build you loyalty when you do!
Maybe Iām the outlier here, but doesnāt this just seem like you need a new service shop? I havenāt had any issues with mine. Plus, you donāt have to get your service at a dealer to keep the plan in play. If you have it serviced somewhere else and just document it, you are good to go.
TLDR -...
