From a reselling perspective, the money you spent on PPF will NEVER be recouped in resale price. No one is going to pay you extra 5k, all…

Someone in this thread suggests that they would only give you the refund once, so you probably can't do an endless loop.…

I own two EVs i.e. a Tesla Model 3 and a Kia EV9. While I’ve decided not to buy Tesla again because of the implications of supporting…

Not sure, have never tried. You probably could though the people waiting in the line might be a touch annoyed at how long this will take…

Depending on where you charge and how efficient your car is, it's not necessarily worse. My long range Tesla is not the most efficient (RWD…

When I bought Apple gift cards under promotion in Colesworth, I always open it right after purchase next to the counter to ensure that I…

While I fundamentally agree that spending for experience and enjoyment is partly personal preference, I am not sure if your overall…

Do you have any published source for this? Curious.

Curious: apart from the surveillance / connectivity, what other things about EV that particularly turns you off? The connectivity is not…

Are your confident that TD 93/142 is ignored by most companies? In whirlpool forum discussions, most people state that this is followed.

Challenger bank which is not really a well known name.

On top of what poor ass said, a big point of contention is the potential for FBT-exemption goodness to come to an end during the mid-2027…

Nah I never looked into 1 year leases seriously myself. My leasing company is the honest one who immediately pointed me to the TD93/142 and…

Hey thanks. Yeah the long lease vs multiple shorter lease choices. It’s a tough one and I try not to delve into that too much as it could…

I’m a nerdy doctor who first looked into NL for myself and in the process got into the rabbit hole and developed the spreadsheet…

That’s precisely the rule - the car just has to be first used and held after 1/7/22. It does not have to be new. A used car that was…

Ah I take it you used the calculator :D Glad to have helped!

At the risk of sounding like a shameless self promoter, I would like to share the free spreadsheet tool helps you crunch these numbers in…

This TD does not really talk about what the calculation is if your leased item is used in the first place. So no, I am not entirely sure. I…

The residual value is set by ATO as 65.63% at 1 year, 56.25% at 2 years, 46.88% at 3 years, 37.50% at 4 years and 28.13% at 5 years. Even…

Not exactly sure what you mean by "carry over FBT exemption". What I mean is - if you find an EV which is first used and held after 1/7/22,…

Second this. A used EV which is eligible for FBT-exempt novated lease is by far the best value.

Ah right. I don't have too much experience on south western highway. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to "force" you to agree with my…

I agree with @klaw81 there. My bulky square 7-seater EV9 does as bad as 220-240Wh/km at 110km/h highway speed; however the more aerodynamic…

Came here to post the same thing. Oh well it's great while it lasted.

Nice balanced consideration. What distance do you do daily / yearly? And what is your fuel tariff? On your fuel cost calculation: Many…

Five years later when 1000km solid state battery is actually available, OP will start doing 2000km Nullarbor return trips every other…

It's hard to say if OP is even serious. One year ago it was 100km, now it's regular 250km, and now that people have given ample evidence…

Agree - Tesla has some advantage in the long drive department especially if your longer drives have good access to the Tesla supercharger…
