Who makes the most reliable new cars?

[mrbb]

from consumerreports.org

Oh dang, the myth that EVs have less moving part, therefore should have less car problem and less maintenance just got blown a gasket. 



Even the mighty Tesla is ranked #14 in reliability.
Still waiting from battery boys to show us where to buy EV battery for $3000-7000

Unless Governments around the world change their legislation and policies regarding banning/limiting the sale of new ICE cars then none of that matters even in the unlikely event that EV technology doesn't improve - certainly from an investment perspective.

[mrbb]

obviously you're a little slow on world event, Green leaders UK and EU have already back peddled on ICE ban deadline, with no major back lash from green activists.  Those target dates were just virtue siganling sell job to the naives.  With the pending recession, you think people want to shell out 50-60k upfront to buy an EV to save future cost?  No, people would prefer to keep

mrbb...while we are quoting CR data..here is another report you might want to look at it and criticize.. .https://advocacy.consumerreports.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/EV-Ownership-Cost-Final-Report-1.pdf

[mrbb]

i doubt your read the 2020 study, likely you just read the conclusion. There are marked difference between the CR study of 2020 and the Nov 29, 2023 study Here is my interpretation: CR 2020 report only studied only 2019 ICE and EV variety model year - the 2020 study only looked at the day to day running cost, hence, the studied cars have no out of warranty cost nor include non billiable

Thanks for your response....glad i could make your day....lol
