Comment on Labor will announce home battery rebate in “coming days,” says federal treasurer

  From the article you linked:

  “Factors contributing to used EV sales trends cited by the report authors included:

  • The implementation of the FBT exemption in November 2022 that potentially prompted EV owners to acquire new vehicles, contributing to an increase in the availability of used EVs. 
  • Uncertainty surrounding battery health of used EVs deterring some potential buyers.
  •  Pricing of new EV models coming down, negatively impacting used EV prices.

  The authors of the report did caution the EV pricing findings were volatile because of the small amount of vehicles involved.”

  I would say the biggest issue is likely that new EVs are coming rapidly down in price, with longer range, so a second hand EV is comparatively not as good value currently. Many people are waiting for slightly bigger batteries or different types of ev, and I’ve seen at least half a dozen BYD Sharks on the road, one I talked to the guy had literally bought it yesterday, and many of them are getting tax benefits to buy new.

  You are making out it’s all about battery concern where there’s much more going on.

  So, you’re a moderator in a politics community, and you troll in various places on Lemmy, and like to threaten if you are challenged. Interesting.

  Can’t help wondering if the other mods here might want to look into whether that’s a good thing… or not.

  You posting pro-ev site propaganda sources doesn’t help your cause lol

  People don’t want second hand EVs precisely because of the battery warranty issue.

  I don’t even need to look at your profile to know that you’re like a Bowen loving “renewables” grifter.

  What’s hilarious is like I said way back at the start of this - my next car will be an EV, likely a Tesla. I’ve been a fan of them and following closely since the roadster. You ignore that though because I don’t just blindly ignore all inconvenient truths about them.

      I have the notification of your deleted comment so I can see what you said, so I’ll address it.

      1. No, I didn’t delete anything. You can check the mod log.

      2. There was no “threat inherent” in my post. As a moderator would you prefer I tell you when you’re veering off into breaking the rules, or not and then just ban you when you continued? I simply told you to watch where you’re going with the accusations of trolling - and more importantly the “you don’t belong here” comment. You don’t get to gatekeep here. You have no right telling anyone that they don’t belong here, or accusing them of being a troll. That’s bordering breaking the rules, which I pointed out.

      3. It’s entirely appropriate mod behaviour, telling people they’re getting close to breaking the rules. Calling people trolls because you disagree with them, and telling them they don’t belong in a public community is not appropriate member behaviour, hence why I told you to watch what you’re doing.

      4. Accusing me of deleting your comment is, again, borderline unacceptable and starting to push it.

      I’m not going to ban you for any of this like you want me to, but if you break the rules flagrantly a moderator will take action, even if it’s not me.

      Like to threaten? Lol good one. I told you that accusing me of trolling and saying I don’t belong here is starting to go too far. I didn’t threaten you, I didn’t give you a warning, I didn’t take any mod action. I didn’t take any action when you were name calling or throwing out other snide remarks, because that’s not a mod-worthy problem.

      Look at you “threatening” to try and get me cancelled because I told you to calm it down a bit lol. You’re behaving like a child.

        I think the ratio on your comments Lemmy-wide speaks for itself. If it quacks etc etc. Maybe think about how you come across to people, and if you’ve been called a troll and blocked multiple times by people on a variety of communities, then perhaps some self reflection might be warranted.
