Though definitely not a Tesla fan, I also agree with Changyang1230 here. My Prius hybrid when I sold at 240,000 km still had the original…

I appreciate your advice mate, though I do not share the same opinion or agree with everything you said, you do have some valid points.…

Ah.. Thanks for this, if anything I hated about Model Y is the rough ride. Based on what you just mentioned, I don't think I'm going to…

I always believed businessmen especially those at Elon Musk's level (or even those alike Trump) are not really racists in their…

Yes, there are certainly lots of valid (& eye opening) contributions from our fellow Ozbargainers.

Unfortunately where I am (WA) I couldn't find a single polestar let alone cheaper.

Thanks mate, I don't mind driving. A good podcast is all you need.. Unfortunately my work place doesn't (yet) have EV charging facilities…

Definitely agree here.

Yes, but is there any difference in suspension of long range compared to RWD? I felt model Y ride was rough (similar to that of a badly…

Saying EVs have almost nil resale value is a bit of a stretch. Yes, they don't hold value as much as other cars (at this stage anyway).…

This is my conclusion as well. Especially when I intend to buy a used EV for cheaper, not in the highest tax bracket and have got enough…

Does this basically means that if car had any manufacturing fault or battery issue out side warranty (above 160K) then I'll end up still…

I like this. A humble house and a humble car with a fat savings account that you know you could do anything with is a lot better though.…

Out of curiosity, if I go with a novated lease, and exceed the warranty inclusion no of km (say 200,000 km within 5 year period) and then…

Yes, not all employers support these leases. Most big players have their preferred leasing companies, so your old one might not work. Lot…

I said 2022 Model Y for 40K (which in my opinion is expensive) The car in the link is 2024 Model Y that I could have bought for 41K. No, he…

Love to have one but it's way out of my budget. If I had that sort of budget, my first pick would probably be Toyota BZ4X. Since I'm not…

Well, EV car makers may not have a massive premium on-top now but they certainly did a couple of years ago. Tesla's were 70K plus which are…

True

Don't forget it's a 5-year-old Tesla with 200K mileage on it which means both its manufacturer warranty as well as battery warranty are no…

Thanks for the factual comparison. Based on your method but with my hybrid (which does 4.2 L/100 km); Hybrid fuel cost per year $3,000 EV…

Thanks mate. I test-drove model Y and MG4 today (both slightly used demo vehicles) and MG4 was compelling and I thought the build quality…

Really appreciate the numbers.. Are you saying novated leasing company will reimburse based on actual km driven not the cost of charging.…

In my use case, flexibility is important as I need to get out of the mess if I need to get a mortgage loan or change job for example. Does…

Just a quick update on a couple of test drives I did today. I tried GWM Ora, MG4 Excite and Model Y. Below are my thoughts/observations.…

Yes, not sure whether I like the looks of BYD cars though (with only exception of blade which is just as expensive as model 3/Y).

Thanks mate, I'll definitely keep this in mind. As far as I'm aware, Tesla doesn't support this, does it?

Didn't know about this option, I'll do some more research on it. Thanks

True, for example what I found out is that if I do a one-year novated lease (due to my specific circumstances I'm not keen on longer…
