If you buy a Prius for 2K, replace the batteries for 500.00 then sell it for 6K, you have approx 4k of sense

I fucking clicked on the bomb first

Goddess is da bomb

A Prius isn't worth 6k

it's worth what the Libtards will pay for it

It is if there's 6k in the trunk

for instance, cheapest nissan leaf on autrader right now is 6500

And their syrens go uwuwuwuwuwuwuw

yeah but those cars aren't real complex

Buy an electric bike instead

nonsense argument - nearly every fault that kills a modern car is electric in nature

alot of people bail on something liek a Prius prematurely cause it's complicated and not many know how to fix something simple

I can understand that, it has two systems

It's why hybrids don't seem to hold their value so well as full electrics

Nevertheless, you can buy 1yr old korean gas car for the price of a used 8 year old electric

not sure about that. full electrics havent been around very long

and they are so much harder to repair

full electrics have been around donkies years

not mainstream

Salutations gentlemen

irrespective, people are going to buy a 1yr car with 6 years of warranty than an 8yr old one with none

Herzlisch Wilkommen hier in Der Vierte Reich!

true. warrenties kinda kill the market for repairs though

closed maintenance software does too

warrenties make it possible to 'use and toss' cars aside rather that having a seperate 'new car' vs 'repair' market

licensing

It's the same with cell phones in the US

same with cell phones anywhere

most American's don't know that in Europe, the phone hardware isn't normally sold with the service provider

it's still how most people get their phones here in europe

in Europe, the phone manufacturers compete seperately from service providers

in the US you have to get phone with your provider

and it is often been the case there is exclusivity for a new phone model to a network for a period

by law?

almost unheard of to use a phone you got somewhere else with a new provider

I mean, you buy a phone with a provider here.

yes, but is it a legal requirement to sell them in that fashion, or is it just established practice in the market?

learn to unlock ur phones 4head

you are forced to do that here. and if you change providers you have to change phones

and the providers price hike th plans while buying hardware at a discount from manufacturers
