COPART'S WILDEST EV FINDS WITH AN EV MECHANIC! OLD & RARE EVS YOU CAN BUY

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out of Spec Podcast takes viewers on a deep dive into the world of electric vehicles available on Copart, featuring insights from EV mechanic Alex. The hosts explore a wide array of EVs, from vintage models to commercial fleets, highlighting potential pitfalls and repair considerations. Key vehicles discussed include the Toyota RAV4 EV, noting common issues like battery contactors or coolant leaks in the drive unit, and a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor listed for sale, which appears to be in good condition with a clean title and under warranty. The conversation also touches upon the challenges of repairing Rivian EDVs due to manufacturer support limitations and the historical context of early EVs driven by California's ZEV mandate. The review emphasizes that while Copart offers unique opportunities, buyers should be aware of the 'as-is' nature of sales and potential hidden mechanical issues, particularly when purchasing sight unseen.
