its a second hand vehicle, but that doesnt make it any better. you expect to buy a 10 year old car and it needs 20k in repairs? that is going to be EVERY car, soon, if they get their way with 'evs'
So battery capacity and health testing results will likely need to be provided with each used car sale. The market will catch up. Consumers will quickly realize the true cost of these vehicles.
We can talk about single cases and edge cases all day long. The fact is we need to talk about statistical outcomes and the mean outcomes far more than we need to talk about edge cases.
How reliable is a battery test? How many times is there a fail state that is NOT predicted by these tests? Even if it became "diagnosable", you still will forever have the problem of 10 year old car is suddenly worth 22k less. This will add to the rusting landfills and doesnt help with global warming, unless its reduced by throwing all these wrecked teslas into the atmosphere to create a new greenhouse effect, lmao.
Ok, single cases, what is the failure rate of these batteries at 10-15 years?
the whole story is clickbait misrepresentation.

And government will add tax for servicing normal cars to subsidize servicing electrics.
