@@Frigobar_RanamelonicoThey are actually terrible. Tesla sold their vehicles at very high profit margins because they cheated out on their construction, and are now forced to cut prices because nobody wants to spend so much on cars that fall apart basically from the factory. Those slashed prices further destroy the resale value of Tesla vehicles, that were low even to begin with because of their absurd reliability issues. The cherry on top were reports about construction mistakes that Tesla knew about but didn’t acknowledge, making customers pay thousands of dollars for their mistakes.
@@nanolog522 i own 2 and basically only have 2 very stupid problem solved in 1 hours, (a wrong subwoofer cover and a seat sensor). the value you get in terms of performance and handling for a daily car are insane, even more considering that i don't even have to spend money on fuel and most of legal cost on the car. Surely some had problem (most of the one with assembly problem are the one from USA also). where i live they sold like bread and i understand why, also in terms of ecosistem and ease of us there is nothing close (i'm in search of an electric car for my dad but outside of Tesla you can see they're behind). The car is not perfect but shitting on them without recognize merits it's basically calling yourself a clown.
The amount of CO2 emitted over the whole lifetime of a Prius in comparison to a gasoline powered car is STILL LESS. And a battery powered car is even better in that regard. Over time the battery cars are better in terms of CO2 emissions. And it would be even better if the electricity you put in cones from a renewable energy source. All it needs is a reliable method of charging your car as fast as a gasoline powered car and it would be perfect. The range question needs little addressing. People usually don't drive the entirety of their tank before they go recharging/refuelling.
And what happens to the batteries, when they burn out, and no longer hold a charge? They can’t be recycled. They contain a lot heavy poisonous metals, like lead, cadmium, cobalt, zinc, etc. How are they going to prevent those heavy metals from leeching into your water or soil ??
Yes they can be recycled, the idea they can't is just misinformation spread online by oil companies and EV haters. Search "Volkswagen Electric Car Battery Recycling Plant" in youtube and see Also modern batteries don't contain any lead, cadmium or zinc. But lead, cadmium, cobalt, zinc all come from the ground anyway, they can go back in as long as it's not where we grow crops. Water is treated before it gets to your house anyway so it doesn't really matter if it gets into that.
Lol, they can be recycled. The material isn‘t „used up“ it sort of just oxidizes so yes unlike fuel it can be 100% recycled. Also there is no lead in modern batteries.
@@kripticlunar8198 don't come around with your stupid conspiracy shit kiddo. Of course they recycle those. Lithium is fucking expensive. You are not special because you don't believe in facts. You just look ridiculous
Electric is probably even worse than gasoline, those 150 thousand batteries they use in teslas will be sitting in a field rotting somewhere sooner or later, in turn making the soil toxic
energy lost to breaking is recovered into electrical energy which is used to power the car. Instead of burning more fuel, extending the range you get between filling the tank.
Although I don't have a personal opinion about the prius. It astounds me that a man who has spent that much time with cars still doesn't seem to know anything about the logistics of making one.
I reserve a special level of contempt for Jeremy Clarkson’s wilful ignorance. Hybrids are not ideal, but use half as much fuel. And absolutely all cars are sourced and manufactured in different places.
I do like the prius, its cheap on petrol and reliable and it won't leave me stranded unlike teslas. The environment? Nah not my priority too broke for that
older high mileage priuses are garbages i had rented two of them as work commuters because thats what i could afford at that time without knowledge of cheaper minimum insurance and both of them broke down, After the 2nd one broke and poor back window visibility looking behind your shoulder l would recommend not getting a prius at all nor a hatchback shaped car. But the sedan 2011 toyota camry xle is wonderful great visibility, comfortable padded arm rest, you can have GREAT head and spine posture with it it doesn't protrude your head foward, classy, fast, smooth ride on the prius if the hybrid system does not work you will spend WAY more gas for whatever distance due its high level of drag from hatchback aerodynamics one prius had toasted battery and no electricity to start and the other one while i was cruising between 75-85mph had one piston literally break and fall off the car onto the highway i just heard metal clanging and it was towed by the guy who l rented it from glad those werent my car
He's actually wrong, he just described how every single car is made not just EVs. You think BMW and Audi gets their steel from a locally sourced ethical vegan iron mine? No it comes from China and gets shipped across the world. (oh yeah dude, you deleted your first comment but we're gonna do the whole thing again xxx)
The mining and transport of rare non-sustainable earth minerals to make those heavy batteries is ON TOP of all the other manufacturing processes involved with production of a traditional vehicle.
@@GourmetSoul That's a fair point but I don't think that's true for a couple of reasons. It's not "ON TOP of" is it, it's "instead of"? Traditional vehicles have an engine and gearbox made from steel and aluminium which is what.. 500-1000kg depending on size. Iron and aluminium comes from really environmentally damaging open pit mines. Tesla's motor and drivetrain only weighs about 100kg made from copper and Iron, bad, but only 1/10th the amount a traditional car uses. Then the battery is 500-800kg of mostly nickle and lithium. Nickle is mined along side iron so is a by-product of getting the iron for the rest of the car. And Lithium is super green comparatively to mine, because they don't carve it out of a mountain with massive diggers, they pump water through salt beds and then leave it in lakes to evaporate in the sun before processing it. I don't know the exact figures but that looks pretty much like an equal mass swap but with materials that are greener to extract from earth in favour of the EV? What do you think?
In the US they sold well becsuse of an 11k government subsidy, and it had tge highest MPG of anything but a VW diesel, WHICH CARRIES ITS OWN STIGMA WITH IGNORANT PEOPLE. The kind that buy Toyota products!
What he said is wrong and blatantly racist, also cargo ships are incredibly fuel efficient so the ecological impact is very little. Further more, the car charges itself by using heat or friction energy that is otherwise wasted
Haha how can that be racist, batteries don't have feelings ;) I feel it's more discriminatory batteries want work too they are done with internal combustion taking their work
45 mpg.
Gas is expensive.
Insert "Tesla" here
Lol, they're good car for what they cost

As a Toyota loyalist, the Prius is the dark sheep, and I don't even consider it a Toyota car.

Toyota Virus.
I have never understood how self charging hybrids can be efficient.
Charging the battery while braking, charging when the motor runs efficient (50-100kmh) and using that energy when the motor is inefficient (0-40kmh)
Electric is probably even worse than gasoline, those 150 thousand batteries they use in teslas will be sitting in a field rotting somewhere sooner or later, in turn making the soil toxic
Sort of like standing in a bucket and trying to lift yourself up by the handle.

Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense or work
Although I don't have a personal opinion about the prius. It astounds me that a man who has spent that much time with cars still doesn't seem to know anything about the logistics of making one.
None of what he said was wrong. Maybe you are the one who should do some research.
@@GourmetSoul His description applies to every car built.
Pretty much anyone who lives in baku has their own story of why toyota prius is a car that deserves hate
Fuck the environment. I don't care about that
What matters to me is 65 mpg and that deserves praise, not to mention 400,000+ miles life
Clarkson proving his stupidity as usual
I reserve a special level of contempt for Jeremy Clarkson’s wilful ignorance. Hybrids are not ideal, but use half as much fuel. And absolutely all cars are sourced and manufactured in different places.
Half as much fuel as a supercar maybe. In the real world maybe a quarter better than my diesel.

on the prius if the hybrid system does not work you will spend WAY more gas for whatever distance due its high level of drag from hatchback aerodynamics
