    You get what you pay for, if you are very luck these days.

    With all these things you need to rationally evaluate the
    real cost over the life of the asset and its end of life (in
    your hands) value.

    I imagine these vehicles will have no value when the battery
    gives up and you will be paying to have it towed away.

    Ask questions about the mean, and std deviation, time
    to failure of the battery. Also the real future cost of electricity
    is an issue. No crystal ball is needed to know where that is
    going.

    Things like crash survive-ability and the risk of the thing
    burning down your garage, and your house, need to be
    considered.

    I wonder when insurers will start reassessing their risk
    in these matters and adjusting premiums accordingly?

    Just some random thoughts. Don't buy your transport
    with ego, or emotion.
