If you actually read the article the 22k was dealership price and the 3rd party shop price was 5k. And "few" years is 8 which is how long the warranty lasts, and we don't know what % of cars have these failures when.
Still not cheap but not the ridiculous exaggeration the post title is trying to insinuate.
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.
