Hi from new member!

Hi everyone! I just purchased a 2024 Mirage SE. Been lurking here for the past few weeks and am excited to see this forum is plenty active. I'm a much bigger fan of forums as opposed to FB groups.

Again, hello everyone and look forward to learning all about this car!

Welcome, you will love it here.

And.... the other day I saw my first Tesla cybertruck with Texas plates.

If wonder if it was Elon driving one to Toronto to show off.

They are definitely unique to look at!

Hello giant22000 and welcome to the forum. You'll have to tell us more about your Mirage. Consider making a forum Garage entry. Let us know if you have any questions.

I think they are as ugly as Doug Deeshmuro, not pretty like me.

Something strikes me as funny. I have not seen a Texas plate up here for at least 18 months.
Then shortly after the Cybertruck appears I see one in Niagara Falls going in the direction of Toronto?

Ok.

Something just struck me.
Elon should be making these things from stainless steel like Bricklin.
Then the detractors can't see these are giant disposable kid's battery run toys.
Elon could point at the SS body and say "see? good forever, Only the battery contents get landfilled"

That's a misconception:

Battery Recycling

Tesla vehicles are designed to last, but if needed, Tesla Service Centers can help get you back on the road.

What happens to Tesla battery packs once they reach their end of life?

Unlike fossil fuels, which release harmful emissions into the atmosphere that are not recovered for reuse, materials in a Tesla lithium-ion battery are recoverable and recyclable. Battery materials are refined and put into a cell, and will still remain in the cell at the end of their life, when they can be recycled to recover its valuable materials for reuse over and over again.

Extending the life of a battery pack is a superior option to recycling for both environmental and business reasons. For those reasons, before decommissioning a consumer battery pack and sending it for recycling, Tesla does everything it can to extend the useful life of each battery pack. Any battery that is no longer meeting a customer’s needs can be serviced by Tesla at one of our Service Centers around the world. None of our scrapped lithium-ion batteries go to landfilling, and 100% are recycled.
