How's the vibration treating you?

Next you'll be saying Toyota is about to go bankrupt. You're talking about the second (and recently first) largest auto manufacturer in the…

Some are better than others. Even within BYD it's a bit of a mixed bag. BYD Seal brake pedal feel is really grabby and heavy whereas the…

LG alpha 11 uses a 7nm process.

Nio is broke because they’re blowing money on silly battery swapping.

Cost.

Yes I feel it’s a sign of things to come.

It doesn’t. It does however look like every other Virtualyard site.

The BYD distributors (EVDirect) aren’t exactly the gold standard either. The main reason a BYD is a smarter buy is because it’s looking…

This is a vastly better product than BYD. It deserves to stick around based on that at least. They’re reasonably successful in China so…

Most people will have no issues with mechanics and parts. Capital city owners can service at VW specific independent mechanics. Parts are…

This is value for money. You can spend half the amount and get something nowhere near half as good.

Nothing standard about the sun rising at 4:45am.

An amusing comment for someone likely in SE QLD to make. A geographical area that's arguably in the wrong timezone.

A BankWest card? Pretty sure they don’t have currency conversion like you’re talking about.

I've struggled to use this in SEA, even at bank ATMs in Singapore. No issues in the US. They seem extremely risk averse. No issues with a…

HSBC is a weird one where the FX rates are actually not the Visa/Mastercard rates and rather a bank rate with a huge margin.

WiFi is a bit of dark art, and the "specs" don't really tell you how well something will perform however a used Smart Modem is a cheap…

One double brick wall should not make WiFi unusable. Replace your Netcomm rubbish with a Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 from marketplace.

Pretty much every engine they make has some sort of serious failure or common issue. The 3.3 has oil consumption and ring issues. Class…

BMW are easily more reliable than Hyundai these days. Audi and Mercedes are probably line ball. Hyundai/Kia do not make reliable cars

I would strongly recommend using a DisplayPort dock rather than one of these. The chances of your Windows laptop not supporting 2-3 screens…

High spec, fit and finish is one thing. How the car actually drives and how the software works is something else. A close competitor to…

Europcar (which is owned by VW)

I have driven a Tesla. You clearly haven’t driven anything else because if you did you would know other EVs perform regenerative braking…

The “drag” effect is less efficient. You’re best driving in normal mode and using the brake pedal to perform regenerative braking.

No one said brakes aren't used. You'll note this car has big 340mm discs on the front. The rear drum is enough to supplement the regen…

Rear discs on a RWD EV are a negative. They're completely unnecessary and the lack of use can cause problems.

Definitely more intuitive. EVs should just drive like cars. OPD is a gimmick.
