Better just replace the whole vehicle before the warranty ends!

Like this…..Tesla batteries about 20 grand…. And significantly larger, in general.

Frank Eaton was a cool dude. Sounds as if he was full of shit, but fun to listen to none the less. They should make a movie about his story of avenging his dad's killers.

No, it’s just that up until probably fairly recently… everybody else’s battery packs were very very small by comparison.You are reading that correctly, Tesla and Mercedes on the same pack.
That’s what’s so laughable about people who argue my Chevy, Ford, Dodge, BWM is better. Got no idea how much these manufactures are in cohorts together behind the scenes.
That particular gem in the crate is for an older B class Mercedes that a was about $11k. Don’t remember all the particulars on capacity as I wasn’t the one working on it, but it’s a lunch box of a car with city driving range.
Let's just say the vast majority of those who stayed home during the scamdemic were not up to Newton level intelligence.
Let me be perfectly fucking clear on this.Yes I bet we would be horrified to see what's on thier hard drive

This is a Tesla model Y battery. It takes up all of the space under the passenger compartment of the car.
To manufacture it you need:
--12 tons of rock for Lithium (can also be
extracted from sea water)
-- 5 tons of cobalt minerals (Most cobalt is made
as a byproduct of the processing of copper
and nickel ores. It is the most difficult material
to obtain for a battery and the most
expensive.)
-- 3 tons nickel ore
-- 12 tons of copper ore
You must move 250 tons of soil to obtain:
-- 26.5 pounds of Lithium
-- 30 pounds of nickel
-- 48.5 pounds of manganese
-- 15 pounds of cobalt
To manufacture the battery also requires:
-- 441 pounds of aluminum, steel and/or plastic
-- 112 pounds of graphite
The Caterpillar 994A is used for the earthmoving to obtain the essential minerals. It consumes 264 gallons of diesel in 12 hours.
Finally you get a “zero emissions” car.
Presently, the bulk of the necessary minerals for manufacturing the batteries come from China or Africa. Much of the labor for getting the minerals in Africa is done by children! If we buy electric cars, it's China who profits most!
BTW, this 2021 Tesla Model Y OEM battery (the cheapest Tesla battery) is currently for sale on the Internet for $4,999 not including shipping or installation. The battery weighs 1,000 pounds (you can imagine the shipping cost). The cost of Tesla batteries is:
Model 3 -- $14,000+ (Car MSRP $38,990)
Model Y -- $5,000–$5,500 (Car MSRP $47,740)
Model S -- $13,000–$20,000 (Car MSRP $74,990)
Model X -- $13,000+ (Car MSRP $79,990)
It takes SEVEN years for an electric car to reach net-zero CO2. The life expectancy of the batteries is 10 years (average). Only in the last three years do you begin to reduce your carbon footprint. Then the batteries have to be replaced and you lose all the gains you made in those three years.
The truth is far better than the fiction we are all being told !
100 percent!! In certain circumstances EV’s are great, but this mandate crap is horse shit!!! They are not even remotely close to prime time replacement.Here’s a fairly comprehensive report on why a lot of this is inaccurate…. When I say inaccurate, it’s an accurate in that it doesn’t compare apples to apples: Parramatta resources are required to go into production of any internal combustion engine based vehicle. The primary difference being those minerals required for the battery pack, versus the materials present in a combustion engine.

Now, I’m not seeing EV’s are God’s gift to the world… their truth is that internal combustion engines are not gonna be replaced in extremely remote locations… unless somehow those remote locations have massive energy generation capability.
However, I find it really ridiculous that people run around trying to say how awful Evies are when the truth of the matter is they do fulfill a slot when it comes to metropolitan area transportation.
Not to mention, they’re insanely fast and very few ICE vehicles can touch them from a performance standpoint.
Did not believe it. Looked up the part number. It’s 40,558.80 for the battery and 6652 for the core charge at Mercedespartscenter.List did a replacement battery pack under warranty on a Benz EQS few weeks ago….. please return your seats to their upright position and tighten all safety belts…..
That’s just the retail cost only, can’t show the dealer internal stuff.
So, in reality: only $34474.98Did not believe it. Looked up the part number. It’s 40,558.80 for the battery and 6652 for the core charge at Mercedespartscenter.
Don't they all.........The pussy that can lick itself.
Mandates are always problematic…100 percent!! In certain circumstances EV’s are great, but this mandate crap is horse shit!!! They are not even remotely close to prime time replacement.
Now for the kicker, EV’s have zero, zero restrictions or performance requirements and are given price breaks and credits left and right. If they are as good as the gubmint and manufactures are pushing, how about they stand on their own merits and a level playing field. Then let’s see where the chips fall.
if I remember correctly the Tesla model Y batteries around $25,000… I’d have to assume that a Mercedes was probably getting a different battery pack, where the battery packed out of a model S or model X vehicle, which is substantially larger Than the one from the model three or model Y.So, in reality: only $34474.98
My local MB dealer sells all parts AT 10% OVER LIST, My source in TX is 15% off list
Can’t speak for Mercedes Parts Center, but good luck getting that battery at that price from a third party vendor. It’s also hazmat truck freight shipping only.Did not believe it. Looked up the part number. It’s 40,558.80 for the battery and 6652 for the core charge at Mercedespartscenter.
Holy crap….Can’t speak for Mercedes Parts Center, but good luck getting that battery at that price from a third party vendor. It’s also hazmat truck freight shipping only.
Maybe they got some secret squirrel connections, but it was special procurement by VIN only to our dealership. I am a MB tec and that is straight out of Benz official system. You can call the half dozen other dealers in the Tampa, Orlando area to try your luck at if you like.
Yes, an entire class of racing is made up lolDon't waste your time on his BS Corndogs, I have forgotten more about HP in boats than he will ever know and don't feel compelled to prove or substantiate it.
I know you are busy doing your evil genius shit but the other mods not so much.since none of us Mods peruse this thread regularly.
Just because it has a shipping label going to a Mercedes location doesn't mean it fits a Mercedes vehicle. The Mercedes dealership might have a body shop that is Tesla certified to install the battery, or the Mercedes service department might be Tesla certified. My son works for Tesla where they build the batteries and has never said anything about them making a Mercedes spec battery. They are so busy building batteries for their own production they don't have time to build them for anyone else.You are reading that correctly, Tesla and Mercedes on the same pack.

https://www.enginelabs.com/news/video-test-shows-top-fuel-nitro-engine-makes-over-11000-horsepower/They don't/can't dyno the TF engines. From what I gather the issue isn't so much the dyno itself, but that the engines won't/can't run for long enough to get a proper read.
Clay Millican has something about that on one of his Q&A videos.

You did see where I said I am a MB tec at a MB dealer and that it is in our service department this very moment and that particular crate went into a Mercedes B class ev? There is no speculation of what kinda sorta might be.Just because it has a shipping label going to a Mercedes location doesn't mean it fits a Mercedes vehicle. The Mercedes dealership might have a body shop that is Tesla certified to install the battery, or the Mercedes service department might be Tesla certified.
