At least for spare parts grabbing. Maybe hard to beat the King: Renault Fluence, that one doesn't give much chances for an extended life, as RCC will try by all means to lock you. But yeah, you are very much mistaken if you think that at least 50% of the original Leaf and Model S are still on the roads. Where do you think all EV enthusiasts grab Tesla cells for conversions? (Nissan ones are even worse, no one dreams on getting a chance to grab them).

Doing it with vehicles that burn electricity or hydrocarbons, the end result is the same. Since Humans tend to act as predators, we collectively would be better-off conducting our action into common wellbeing instead. Governments by their turn, would have been better in sync with people if they avoided to all costs all the dodging tax exploits created: meal cards, salary sacrifice schemes, tax reliefs/cuts, company cars, off-shore existences, fuel cards and all other existing deferred measures. You can't go on forever living today with money of tomorow. Neither you should.<br />Bringing valuable things to the scrap yard is just what we have been doing since the Big-Bang. Not one single day, hour and minute goes on this planet where this doesn't happen. Just in Europe, there are at least 2 car factories earmarked to be scrapped next year (300.000 units capacity), while at the same time, at least one more factory is being erected (500.000 units capacity). Net balance: more resources allocated, more capital spent, more waste created. What kind of environment for?<br />Is it the 2011 Nissan Leaf or the 2013 Tesla S markedly sought-after for a next purchase now or in 2021 or 2022? How many of those originally are still in use? And why ever sending them as rubbish to the scrap yard? Aren't they improving the environment while being in use? What could go wrong, so few moveable parts.<br />As for improving oneself health, one should-only do their own meals at home, move mainly by walking, raise their children and take care of their elders, live in-sync with the seasons and above it all, have a sense of community and ownership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-29796031701230926572020-11-19T02:24:34.345+00:002020-11-19T02:24:34.345+00:00How would limiting e-UP! deliveries benefit ID.3 s...How would limiting e-UP! deliveries benefit ID.3 sales?
