Opinion on 500e

Hey, everyone...

Have you seen this guy? What do think about his opinion on the 500e? It blew my mind.

He’s got a solid point about EV ranges dropping over time and becoming less practical, but it sucks to think even a well-kept car might not be worth fixing.

His testing methods could definitely use some work, too. Plus, he kind of missed that as batteries age, the horsepower goes down too. You really notice it with high-performance rides like Teslas - range might still be decent, but that power drop is super noticeable when the battery starts fading.

I’ve got a daily commute of about 10 miles, and let me tell you, despite having ongoing battery issues, I’ll keep driving this ride until it literally can’t go anymore, even if it means shelling out $700 for repairs.

You know, it's kind of funny how Hoovie keeps raving about how forcefully the car accelerates, yet he's scratching his head over why the range doesn’t quite match the hype. Like, seriously? What’s up with that?

Absolutely, plus running the AC can really drain the battery. Modern heat pump ACs are way better in that regard, more efficient and handle power consumption much better.

"This car is junk. It's dead." Proceeds to slam pedal and squeal tires "It still pulls really hard, though."

LOL

Yep, you are right! In the end, it is all about how you drive it. Am I wrong?
