Pocket change! My guy comes to my house but charges me $32,000. It’s worth it though. Then Chauffer can continue working in the gardens and cleaning my windows. First world problems are the bane of my existenceOkay I just read how much it costs to change the oil in a Bugatti. Apparently you have to remove a bunch of parts and there are 16 drain plugs. It’s costs between $20,000 and $25,000 to change the OIL!!
I saw that article and was like, What? Then I thought about it for a second and thought for the price of one of those the the oil change cost was nominal. Next article.Okay I just read how much it costs to change the oil in a Bugatti. Apparently you have to remove a bunch of parts and there are 16 drain plugs.

Interesting article. Not really surprised by the results. As they say. You get what you pay for.Is there a formal grading system for battery quality?
If there isn’t, there should be.

I really like the "Black Badge"Probably off topic, but everyone go to Rolls Royce’s website and look at the model designs for this generation. I personally think they are the best Rolls designs in a long while.
I like the black ghost “Ekleipsis”. A lot of BS story telling to create something really unique. Would like to see Scout pull of something similar but the halo of led “stars” in the headliner is awesome. And the leather is super well done. But I’m not a big enough DB to drive one even if I had that kind of moneyI really like the "Black Badge"

There is no way as a consumer for us to know what grade batteries EV manufacturers are stuffing into them.Interesting article. Not really surprised by the results. As they say. You get what you pay for.
Most EV manufacturers are pretty upfront about who's battery technology they are using. Or, you could take your portable CT with you car shopping.There is no way as a consumer for us to know what grade batteries EV manufacturers are stuffing into them.
I have an auto dealer license and on one of the largest auction sites there is now a battery score for hybrids and EVs. I have not tried this myself, but diagnostic scanners may be able to scan for battery health. I image it’s just like checking battery health on your phone. I’ll have to see if it’s buried somewhere in the main screen menus on my iX. Maybe @THil08 knows how to access that info for BMW.Is there a formal grading system for battery quality?
If there isn’t, there should be.
