    Ugh. The trite, baseless elitism. I’m an engineer and I disagree with your take.

    “Bad ev battery” how? Dead cell? Too many unbalanced cells? How many cycles?

      If you aren’t an engineer working with ev batteries or othe rechargeablebatteries, your opinion has no weight. Too many cells will not hold/take a charge. Old batt in a high mileage vehicle.

        Lol “no true Scotsman” indeed. It certainly weights more than yours as I do in fact help with energy systems, including ev batteries.

        ColonSloth, what’s the term for stolen valor, specifically when someone pretends to be an engineer? Now you know why the FE & PE exams exist.

          At no point did I ever even hint to being an engineer, my man.

          Also, mr.engineer of ev’s; why don’t you go ahead and explain how I’m oh so wrong about the batteries in today’s (or 10 year old) ev’s. I’d just love to hear you explain how the batteries don’t go bad after so many charge cycles.

            I believe an idiot once said

            So why are you talking? While I normally disagree with such gatekeeping, since it’s what you believe take your own advice, your opinion has no weight.

              Understand some context there. Its not hard. . Being an engineer doesn’t give you magic knowledge of all things. If you’re a bridge engineer you don’t know a damned thing about batteries. So simply being “an engineer” doesn’t give you an opinion worth while on batteries.

                Poor and feeble self-correction.

                You started this shitball rolling, and are unhappy with being called out. Wah.

                Scroll up for a response to your other statements, dummy.

                The context is, in one breath you said “unless you are an engineer stfu” (paraphrased) and in the next you said “I’m not an engineer” (again paraphrased.)

                There’s really no other way to read that.

                    Please, feel free to explain how others opinions only matter if they are an EV engineer, but yours matters when you “done some work” on them.
