So maybe this one is not so overpriced. My main concern is the life of the battery and whether it is even possible to replace. I wouldn't be surprised if the cells used are not the same as wat Tesla use now and replacing/rebuilding the battery might not be easy at all.


Yes, I made the same observation about the 2008 Tesla a few posts up. I had a friend who bought a second-hand Nissan Leaf at auction but quickly discovered that the batteries had expired and the cost of having them replaced was more than the price of a new Nissan Leaf. An expensive mistake.

That was some time ago so hopefully things have moved on, but without knowing I'd consider any second-hand EV a risky purchase especially one of that age.
