Yep. I've stated that multiple times in this thread too.

When I see a 30 year old EV with 300,000+ miles on it driving around the rust belt then we can discuss reliability...
Why not? Teslas built a whole company on it?
And Ford pulled a 1 million lbs train with their EV f150, and the current Tundra towed the space shuttle when it was unveiled, blah, blah, blah. They're all perfectly staged marketing stunts just like the tug of war between the Tesla and the F150 was. People are emotional idiots about these things instead of reasoning. If we're being honest, it's the whole reason people buy $50k trucks and never load anything in the bed or tow anything.
That's not how percentages work. I'm not looking at the raw total of mishaps, I'm looking at the rate of mishaps. Look at the NYC study I linked earlier. EVs doing the same job as ICEs in the same environment, with the same levels of maintenance had far fewer failures on average and cost far less money.
i think they said they developed their own stainless steel alloy which they will be using in the truck and the mk1 starship. spacex and jpl arent sending Chinese 304 to the moon guyYou realize stainless steel is a generic term and means nothing right? Did they say it was 16 guage 316 steel? 304? 410? Could be chinese stainless which is just whatever scrap metal they find laying around.
You can't say something is stronger when you have no idea what it is.

Like I said in an earlier post, first tesla I ever saw, was stuck in a left turn lane with the hood up. Police cruiser behind it with the flashers going, likely because the tesla didn't have enough power on it's own to run it's flashers. It's likely, knowing tesla's poor service history, that car will be in a shop for along time. Unless it was just because the owner forgot to charge it. LMAO! Haven't seen another since, And I live in a big city, Oklahoma City.
Really! The stock front brakes on my Ranger lasted 15 years. The drums 19. It's because, even though it's an automatic, I down shift it when coming to stops. I turn the OD off as soon as I start my vehicles. don't turn it on unless I hit a highway of a speed over 55. So I'm already out of OD. Then shift down to second when the speed is low enough. Mustang is a five speed auto. So I down shift it accordingly. Use the engine for braking as much as possible. Only use the brakes at the very last. Lot of times I never even need to use them, light turns green and I'm on the way, already in a low enough gear to motor on. Been doing that since I started driving, as my Dad always did it. Even back when I had my 78 Trans Am, down shifted it when driving. Brakes last a long time if you do this. My 15 going on 16 year old Lightning still has the original brake pads. Of course, it only has 69,000 miles on it.
