Yes I'm a Tuner here. I've been here with the founders of this website since version 1, day 1.
To clarify briefly, that quote is a snapshot of a different conversation and was reproduced here without any reference to the original context of that conversation. I made no mention of the i8 owner's identity therefore any other persons' inference about who owns it and their usage habits is their's alone, not mine.
The i8 was just an example to highlight that even with significant resources at your disposal, a hybrid that is not properly supported by trained technicians can be problematic and frustrating. Now adjust your minds to the middle class family that buys a Hybrid Japanese vehicle or even a european Hybrid SUV (that isn't properly supported) and they experience a problem with the vehicle beyond routine oil changes and maintenance. The gentleman with the resources to acquire the i8 could not resolve the problem with it in under a year, what do you think would be the position of moms and pops with their unsupported hybrid vehicle and limited resources...
In it's proper context, my statement was intended to caution everyday family folk to be smart about their hybrid purchases and be aware that even the best vehicles give unexpected problems sometimes. It had nothing to do with billionaires and batteries. The majority of people that buy and drive cars don't understand enough about cars to make informed purchasing decisions and some people are selling them the fairytale that if the hybrid platform stops functioning they can continue using the vehicle because it has a regular gasoline engine. That's like saying if someone gets a heart attack they can continue living because their lungs are still ok. Not enough people know enough about cars to know the truth when they encounter slick operators.
That's all - The End.

Well said Nebert, very good points. I know of only one mechanic who is certified to work on a number of hybrid vehicle platforms and some of the techs at Toyota who are certified to work on Toyota and Lexus brand hybrids e.g. the Prius, Prius C, Camry etc.
