  • Where are you going to buy your replacement gasoline engine and transmission? The previous owner decided that oil change intervals were more of a guideline anyway. One big win in buying a used EV is that maintenance is minimal, so there's less worry about how the previous owner treated the car.

    I promise replacing your drivetrain at 200k is going to cost more than a battery pack.

    I can get an aftermarket LiFePo battery replacement for my prius for 1/10th the cost of an OEM. It's just a bunch of laptop batteries in a box, it really doesn't have to be super expensive. As adoption grows aftermarket battery replacements will plummet in price.

  • I would imagine most devices have BMS settings to deal with this now.

    There's not much incentive to do that. Battery longevity reduces sales. Keeping the battery at 100% gives better review scores. It's a lose lose for phone makers to implement that.

  • certain aviation fuels still have TEL because they haven't found anything else that works in those applications yet.

    They have finally found a replacement. A company called GAMI got approval for replacement of 100LL in all engines in 2021. No modifications are necessary, aside from a sticker. It's called G100UL. They're ramping up production, it's only available in a few airports atm.

    Of course it could've been replaced decades ago if the political will existed to ban it, but 🤷‍♂️

  • I think Formaldehyde is a bigger problem in new construction than old. Asbestos and lead are harder to deal with though. Formaldehyde just needs ventilation and a few years of offgassing.

  • Or do you just envision the municipality being in charge of maintaining your street's piping?

    That's how my neighborhood works.

    Have fun waiting half a year for them to get to it when it breaks.

    They're usually there within an hour if that happens.

  • If you want to get pedantic about it, 3rd world originally meant countries that didn't take sides in the cold war. 1st world was US and western European democracies and their client states and allies, 2nd world was USSR and their client states and allies.

    3rd world was Africa, India, a lot of SE Asia and some Central/South American countries.
