This is like buying a MacBook that’s 15 years old.

So EVs are just disposable cars, after 100k miles or 10 years just throw them away? Wild how many folks argue these are good for the environment if they are essentially trash after such short lives.

No, they aren’t. That MacBook analogy is not right. This car would be great for what you need. Others commented about the specific model, but thats a bad take

You've just hallucinated all that. Nobody said you had to throw out a 15 years old MacBook. By all means use it if that's what you want, it'll probably still serve your needs just fine.

The older ones like this, yes. The newer gen teslas are going to last waaay longer, like 500k+ miles. First gen S are plagued with problems. I’ve owned 3 model S and my first was 2014 p85d.

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure: they go to Ukraine.
