People don't run into issues for 11-14 years? You're assuming everyone is buying a brand new car. You're entire stance is destroyed by the simple concept of buying used cars.

I'm assuming nothing now other than this sub must be overrun by car salespeople. You all are insufferable. The average age of a used car being bought is 6years old, not 11-14. Also, no one is taking issue with the carbon footprint of buying used cars. That's not the point of this post. Buying and maintaining a used car is a wonderfully conservative practice. People aren't buying used electric cars (by and large). The point here the OP is making is that it's better from a carbon footprint standpoint to not trade up to an electric (typically new car) than to keep an existing ICE car at least until it nears end of life. That is a factually accurate statement that all of you car sales people apparently are upset about.

Guy, you are the only one in here trying to sell a new car.

Sure. Assume, insult, assume some more, then make more broad statements.

You've convinced me!
