I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I’m wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

      Probably leasing. Which is blowing a lot of money, but also means he isn’t buying an $80,000 car that won’t be worth hardly anything after it hits 100k miles, because more and more people in the used markets are figuring out when an out of warranty battery goes bad it can cost you $15,000 to $25,000 extra to replace a battery.

      I mean, presumably he isn’t just taking them to the junkyard… Someone out there is probably still driving those cars
