I got an electric vehicle, and I’m worried about the post battery warranty period. Do I keep it after 8 years and hope the battery doesn’t go out, or do I say fuck that risk and get another one to drive until it’s battery warranty is up too.
Since it sounds like your car is currently reliable, you have the choice of ‘paying for a new car now’ and ‘maybe have to pay for a new car in the future’. The latter is the less expensive option.
Edit: Even when considering the trade-in value of a car goes down as it ages, as a new car devalues much, much faster.
