For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

How old is the EV fleet compared to the broader vehicle fleet? Literally some of the oldest "mass-market" EVs are barely older than the average car. I've never had a fire in any newer car, but I've had a couple of close calls in old shitboxes with rat gnawed wiring or an oil/fuel leak onto the exhaust headers.
I don't have those numbers. I'd be happy to look at them if you find them though.
Can't say what the average EV age is, but I know for a fact it's far younger than the overall fleet average. Overall fleet average in the USA is 12.5 years, while the Leaf and Model S, some of the oldest "mass market" EVs didn't begin sales until 2011 and 2012, respectively. The Model 3 and Y didn't begin sales until 2017 and 2019. The average EV is much, much younger than the overall fleet, and only make up about 1% of the total US fleet.
