In regards to 10 - 20K mile ICE water pump, 40K turbos, 80K timing chains, etc... failure versus: Coolant ingress into HV components and/or the day my e-tron 55 gets sunroof water into 8C.

I think the coolant in HV components is gonna say; Hold my beer

Nerrrrrrrds. It seems like Sandy is nearly as polarizing as Elon ... interesting watch, at least to me.

No surprise there Sebastian. This is "The Way" in China. Their intention is to dominate world markets. Remember that the government is a 50% owner in all of their large businesses. They are just investing in their long term return.

No surprise at the reaction. Protectionism is a means to control what other countries can do.

Free trade is the best means of exchange but when necessary, governments have to protect their own.

Indeed, I am not surprised either - even though these numbers are new, it was clear that there were subsidies. One of the main reasons why I posted this is, many here in Europe claim our own manufacturers are too expensive and while I agree that their prices are not exactly competitive in the low end market, this informartion helps to have a better picture.

A 10 year old battery with no thermal management. The original Tesla Roadster had similar battery degradation problems for the same reason.

But that Leaf has plenty of range for your commute. ;)

Yeah! That's gonna be me and the e-golf but I doubt I'll give up on it. I could turn it into a legacy bench (for VCDS testing) that happens to have wheels one day :)

Or, really fancy chicken coop when it can't go 30+ miles anymore. It does have a heat pump.

@Dana Since the e-golf has thermal management, it should not degrade as badly as those old Leafs or the original Tesla Roadster.

In an underground garage, eh? I wonder what kind of fire-suppression system they have in there? ;)

People might want to stick with ICE vehicles when launching their boats or jet-skis:
