The concept of "burden of proof" is a 2 way street. changing the terms or reach of a claim to debunk it is not debunking the original claim. Doing both at the same time is, well, kinda sad It may advance a discussion to bring up these terms, but it's not "winning", and no one owes you a response on your terms. We aren't a defending a PHD thesis here, no one owes you the replies you want. |

Again, I never moved the goalposts, he made a claim, I asked for proof of the exact claim he made. He has not provided any basis for his claim. Last edited by fcman; 08-07-2023 at 12:03 PM.. |

If I write "Trump was a great president, it's well known", and you demand I prove it, can I? If I can't, does that mean you win and the claim is thus false? Whatever methods you could use to "Prove" such a claim can also be used to "diss-prove" it. Whatever methods you could use to "Diss-Prove" such a claim can also be used to "Prove" it. This is why it's considered Logical fallacy ... Quote:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchens%27s_razor "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." "the truthfulness of a claim lies with the one who makes the claim; if this burden is not met, then the claim is unfounded, and its opponents need not argue further in order to dismiss it." Nope, I have only asked him to defend his statement that BMW's have a reputation for longevity (he may call it whatever he wishes, I will not hold him to my definitions or descriptions of reliability vs durability). No evidence has been posted about BMW's reputation so I cannot have moved the goalposts Last edited by fcman; 08-07-2023 at 12:17 PM.. |

He has offered evidence, you want proof. That's moving the goal post. "Proof" is absent from Hitchens edict. we can never be certain of anything, and so we must assign value to any claim based on the available evidence, and to dismiss something on the basis that it hasn't been proven beyond all doubt is also fallacious reasoning.

Nope, still the same goalposts. He can absolutely offer the evidence which supports his claim, he has not done so |

I think the market will change very quickly though, at this point only around 2% of Teslas have passed the 8 year mark. There just really isn't much of a market yet for 3rd battery repair because a large majority of cars are still under warranty. We'll see though, I plan on checking out some other EV options eventually, waiting for some attractive 3 rows. |

Tesla spontaneously catches fire, firefighters tag Elon Musk in social media post
A Tesla spontaneously caught fire last week while stored in a high-end auto yard, prompting responding firefighters to grab the attention of Elon Musk, head of the electric car company. Images shared by the Metro Fire of Sacramento show crews hosing down a burned black Tesla on Aug 2 in Rancho Cordova. The vehicle was salvaged due to flooding in Florida and was idle when it burst into flames, authorities said. "Crews are unable to move it to a safe location to burn out, the vehicle is blocked in and surrounded by millions of dollars in salvaged vehicles including Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Bentleys. |

It makes a lot of money this way. Probably more than on selling new cars. So they have an incentive for making their vehicles last. Tesla for eg doesn't have thos...it doesn't even have a extended warranty program for its cars (at least in the UK). |

"The vehicle was salvaged due to flooding in Florida and was idle when it burst into flames"
This raises several questions: Are all cars with minor flood damage forced into a salvage title? With the batteries making up the belly pan of a EV it will not take much water to submerged the battery and not damage the car. What is to keep someone from selling a flood damaged EV rather than to accepting a insurance settlement? The used EV market is already depressed without the possibility of damaged EV's showing up. |
