That’s way too general to give a good answer. How long to you keep a vehicle? Does resale matter to you? What’s the reliability stats on the car? I’ve had a model 3, a model S, a Mitsubishi I-MiEV, a cybertruck and one I built myself. We rarely keep a vehicle over 5 years. All of them had no issues and no maintenance aside from tires and wipers 12v batteries and such. EVs are great and I assume it’s reliable but based on you looking for something cheap makes me think you hang onto cars a while. Eventually something will go wrong.

With Fisker in bankruptcy, is it a bad idea to buy one of these car? I am looking for a cheaper used car. I found one in Long Island NY for about $20 K. It looks like the right car for me and my two big dogs. But am I insane to buy into a car that I will need to service completely on my own? I am a Mechanical engineer so I am not a total nube but I won't be able to get any parts and that is obviously concerning. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
