You're moving goalposts. Electric motors are cheaper. The end.
The motor yes. But an electric car does not move with a motor only.
By just calculating the motor we are making up cost comparisons that do not reflect the actual cost of the car.
Are you having trouble understanding the English language? The OP clearly stated the following:
Which is patently false.
Then why are EVs priced higher than ICE?
What does EV and ICE have to do with comparing electric motors to gas motors?
For other reasons.
Either they are priced higher or they aren't. They are priced higher and as such I won't be buying one anytime soon. Not until they are a decade old on their original batteries.
Do you also have English language comprehension issues?
Reddit moment. You're right, but you let this guy frustrate you into responding to the same nonsense multiple times in a row, and some people thought you were being mean.
Yeah, I understand perfectly that you're hilariously wrong. My car is paid off. It's just maintenance at this point. How is that going to be more expensive than buying an EV?
Go back to school.
I think you are having trouble understanding the English language. Most people have heard of a thing called context.
Now as we are describing car types one with a gas and one with an electric engine, and comparing their prices, maybe put the LLM context tokens slightly higher before responding.
No, the OP didn't say a word about cars. Learn to read please.
Once again you appear incapable of understanding context. The explain XKCD article might be of help.
