The Ptfe tube is likely the answer, if you can replace I recommend trying to. Make sure it is seated correctly and properly clamped in place when you’re putting it back together.

Good luck!

I can’t or won’t disagree with you and I’ll agree that it certainly delays the transition to EV’s until a robust used market develops.

Arguably that market is developing as we type. Check any used car site and you’ll see dozens of used EV’s. The prices are still too high imho, but they will keep coming down.

That is still considered an over supply if the prices are too high for the market they are trying to sell into. They’ve reached saturation for the early adopters and tech enthusiasts and now the normies are saying not so fast on the high average selling prices. I think it’s wonderful and we get watching economic theories in action right before our very eyes.

Auto mfg execs are going to be crapping in their drawers when the realize they can’t keep selling massive vehicles for massive profits. It might get ugly folks.

Maybe an AI wrote it. 🥸

Up the Cherries! Let’s get Tyler Adams!
