Re: The North Cape May comment on replacing the battery system on a Tesla and Prius after operating the vehicle for about ten years. Yes, why would anyone spend a small fortune replacing the batteries in these cars when there is no doubt in my "mechanical mind" there will be other electrical failures along the way too. I just traded my 2007 Toyota Tacoma in on a new Tacoma. The 2007 had over 200K miles on it and still ran well. I got a very good price for it too! I plan to keep my new one for at least 15 years too. That's not happening with an electric vehicle for sure!
