    Why does the car media ignore the known issues of control module and motor failures?

    A Tesla battery might last 200K, the rest of the car is shit.

      The article focused on the batteries of multiple EV manufacturers? Also the Tesla battery is still useful without the crappy car container. Just pull it out when the control module and motors fail, and use it as a battery backup. Sell the car for scrap, if they’ll even pay for it.

      But that’s because it’s a Tesla.

      you do realize it’s 2026, and tesla is no longer the only maker of EVs?

      tbh, the media already lavishes way too much attention on musk and tesla.

      Because EV batteris sucking is a culture war topic, whereas cars in general sucking is an indiction of capital and therefore off limits.
