Here, is an article showing the opposite - that you can't get a battery for Leaf because Nissan won't sell you one. I am not certain how reliable after market batteries are, my experiences with aftermarket laptop replacement batteries were negative.

Lets assume that what you found is functional OEM-like quality product with a warranty. I looked up 2021 Nissan Leaf, and private party they sell >$5K. So even on the low end, $4,000 + labor is a write off. As per my point.

As long as I can completely disable it, I have no issues. Currently Siri is completely disabled on my SE. It wasn't difficult to do and it stayed off. Unlike, for example, Microslop that attempts to ram it down your throat.

Ok, so what does it take to replace a battery on a popular non-Tesla EV? Please cite full costs (battery + labor) vs. market value of the vehicle on warranty + 1 day.

Hint: It is probably write-off.

It is not cross-API compatible because it is an API. It's implemented on multiple platforms and it's only supported on platforms it's implemented for.

Also, you seem to be forgetting there are a lot of API specific functions functions: e.g. vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR, vkCreateWin32SurfaceKHR, vkCreateXcbSurfaceKHR, vkCreateXlibSurfaceKHR.

ICE can randomly break while you're driving for no reason. That's how mechanical system work: they do until they don't.

Why would you think that a discharging battery would be anything but warm? Do you not know that batteries put off heat when discharging?

For spite, obviously.

The problem is improperly managed (damage/overcharge/etc) cells self-inflate to become what what the internet refers to as a spicy pillow. If they have eliminated the possibility of creating a spicy pillow then I have overstated the danger. However, so long as battery damage results in thermal runaway that causes a total carbecue then it they need to keep pushing toward making it entirely solid-state. ICE has a higher chance of carbecues but facts be damned, people are sufficiently stupid to hold onto that concern.

When a battery can be damaged without presenting a damage to the car then the battery is sufficiently safe.

What you are describing is how ICE fails not how that is not EVs fail. Honestly, you just made an argument against using ICE.

This is not the case. There are case of 1 year old EVs getting written off.

If anyone had any doubts that "online safety" laws had any other purpose but to silence dissent, here is Exhibit A.

Means of slopduction.

You could make a case that American auto sector directly employed a lot of people and provided even more jobs indirectly. This is NOT the case with AI firms, that employ almost nobody in a grand scheme of things.

Agree. No bailouts, no too big to fail for AI firms.

No, EVs have been heavily subsidized by various tax policies in EU. You can make a Ferrari cheap to own if you just stack up rebates, tax breaks, manufacturer mandates, etc. This does not mean that the product itself is cheap.

Not the EV deprecation rate, that is dictated by markets.
