Re:EVs are depreciating much faster than gas-powered cars by DanielHB on Saturday October 18, 2025 @06:51AM (#45626352)
I keep saying that in a few years cars will not be that much expensive than a big refrigerator...

It is scary that if cars get this cheap what it will mean environmentally (they physically can't last that long) and socially (everybody will be able to afford cars, flooding communities who are not built for it)

If cheap labor is available for building cars it will soon be available for cheaply breaking them down and salvaging them, cleaning the environment in general, and doing renovation and new construction.

The scary part for me is not knowing if that leaves many of us economically viable.
