I bought a MYP in May 2021. I love it. I plan to keep it well past the 8-year battery warranty, and that may take some strategic planning.
My other car is a 2007 Corvette I bought new. Lately I'm having trouble finding critical replacement parts for it. In retrospect, there are several OEM parts I wish I could've purchased while they were still available.
The big propulsion battery appears to be the most serious "keep or junk" part in 2029 when the warranty expires.. I think I could purchase a battery today from eBay for around $10K and store it. If the original battery breezes through the warranty period, I could probably sell it to a needy future soul for a good price. I have the original battery cells and the glued/screwed/rivited front and back ends that are now cast aluminum. My MYP has the original 2170 cells rather than the new 4680 cells.
What do you think of the strategy?
