It is a question more intended for the people that plan to keep his cars for more then 10 years.
If you follow the news, there’s a lot of things that will separate the EV from 2027 (+/- give it or take a year) to the early generations.
From common diagnostic tools, new generations of batteries, including solid state batteries, more standardise charging, more widespread use and support of fast charging, cheaper prices, etc. Legacy autos will finally start to use dedicated and optimise car frames for EV and not adaptations.
In short, there’s a lot coming that may feel to the people with pre 2027 cars that are more outdated and limited, was wonder what you thing about this.
For example I have friends and colleagues that are waiting for this “new generation” of EV to consider the switch.
My car will still work fine even if the other cars around it are newer/better.
What will I miss out on? My 2021 Model 3 SR+ can already charge faster than most public DCFCs support, so my charge speed is only going to improve as faster chargers are rolled out.
I’ll miss the vented seats and smoother/quieter ride of the new model, but that’s a minor difference.
Oh and I’ll believe the ‘solid state battery’ hype when I actually see them delivered in numbers. I doubt they will be at a comparable price point to LFP or even NCA for some time.
Again, not sure I’m missing out on anything major here?
