    Oh we moving the goal post now. The fact still remains, ICE cars do catch fire more often than a EV.

    Great analysis of electric cars

    To be fair, I haven't see a ICE vehicle that has been able to be repaired from a major fire either. When I was at the dealership, that was always a total loss when the insurance company came out to look at it, if they even came out to look at it all.

    GM and Mopar doesn't have a part number for a kit for their diesel fuel systems. The problem is so common on the 6.7 Fords, they make it easier and just put the kit all together as 1 part number instead of having to piece meal it.

    Do you mean the fuel system failures that happen so often that Ford has it's own part number for the fuel system? It's only a 6k kit, then you also need the low pressure pump and couple of lines, then another 15-20 hours of labor at 200 dollars an hour if you are lucky. I'm pretty happy if I...

    What, my claim that a EV is cheaper to repair/maintain than a ICE vehicle? It's true. There have been plenty of studies of this. I thought this was well known already. There are just a lot less moving parts to a EV to break than a ICE vehicle.

    You are totally confusing vehicle fires and vehicle repairs. 2 totally different things.

    Great analysis of electric cars

    I deal with huge fleets all over the US and Canada. The company I work for manages 4-5 million cars, trucks, trailers, pieces of equipment. I probably deal with more repairs than a normal service advisor or tech on a daily basis than a service advisor would in a month.

    What difference does it make where I live? This is per 100K vehicles. Would it make a difference if you want to know what the fires are within my neighborhood for gas vs electric cars? lol

    Guess it will depend on where you live. I see them ALL the time. The Model Y is the best selling vehicle in the WORLD in 2023. Battery replacement isn't as common as they use to be. The technology to maintain and produce them has gotten a lot better in the past couple of years. I saw a...

    Don't be like a Democrat and deny the facts. EV's get all the headline because it's cool and gets all the clicks. But the facts are facts. No denying it.

    You really need to your own research on this. https://www.autoblog.com/2023/11/23/electric-cars-are-less-likely-to-catch-fire-than-gas-cars/ If you want to talk about cost of repairing cars, that's what I do for a living. I approve repairs all day long. You know how often I see a Tesla or...

    Tesla has gone away from using Cobalt for years now. And just a FYI most Tesla owners are not some flaming libtard tree hugger. I know quite a few that are hardcore hotrodders that have huge car collections. And most of them would say they make sense for a daily driver for MOST people.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Really hard to say who the GOAT would be. Hard to just driver by the era they were in. A LOT of people say Senna, that was a little before my time watching F1. Would we be saying that if Senna didn't die on the track? To me, it would be Schumacher. He took a Ferrari team that wasn't winning...

    My choice would be COTA. Miami and Vegas are crazy expensive if you don't have corporate passes. 180 Dollar for nachos is insane at the Miami race.
