I’m an expert mechanic with more than 55 years experience – here are 3 new electric cars I wouldn’t touch with 10ft pole
A seasoned mechanic with more than 55 years of experience claims there are three new electric cars he wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole.

He says the Tesla Model X, which costs around £80,000, is a boring, ugly looking car.

The auto mechanic later explains why he doesn’t recommend buying a BMW i3 – which costs around £32,000.
Scotty said, “Although it has aerodynamic wheels, the tires are very thin, supposedly for better fuel economy.”
“Everything is made out of plastic or carbon fiber plastic so it weighs less and goes further.”

“It’s also a very small car, which isn’t one of BMW’s customers. They want big SUVs and big luxury cars. I had a customer who bought a used car for just £20,000 because BMW customers didn’t want that car.”
At the end of the video, Scotty says he doesn’t like the Tesla Model 3.
He said: “It has very good acceleration, but this baby only has 270 hp, even though it’s electric.”

“All the Teslas I’ve tried drive well on the freeway because they’re smooth, but when you get onto a bumpy road they don’t drive as well because you can feel the bumps in the road. It’s not particularly smooth, and you really hear them and feel them.
