    But there is a picture kicking around the Internet of a BYD Atto using a generator so it must be true ;) Good advice.

    ARE YOU TELLING ME THEY DON'T MAKE YOU DO THAT IN OTHER STATES?!?!?!! If the generator is directly wired to the mains to power the whole house you'd either plug into the house socket or wall charger if you have one. If it's a little one to power an extension cord for essential appliances then...

    Less shit to go wrong, more profit to be made. Simples. On the cameras, an auto indicate function wouldn't need them if it uses GPS. Of course you would have to tell the car where you are going first. The exception would be overtaking, in that case the button on the wheel is not an impedement...

    They are big expensive tyres. Definitely a bit of what oldcorrollas said too, what will the market bear, let's charge somewhere around that. Everyone is freaking out about it, but in the real world it appears not as big a problem as people think. It's only an issue on tight roundabouts...

    My brother got the new Model 3 dual motor, handling, interior and cabin noise reduction are what he reckons are the stand out changes, more refined were his words. He said no worries adapting to no indicator stalk, just like a motorbike.

    At the very least a battery should give a better center of gravity in trucks. Traction control and torque from 0 should make it super easy for EV 4wd's to tackle steep difficult climbs.

    Don't be silly, they don't camp at all.

    I have a whole crankset with this BB at home but it's 2 rings, from a Giant hybrid, will see if the PCD is the same tonight, it has the fairly crappy plastic pedals still attached.

    My Golf was 17k and I bet it could do all the jobs you've done with the 7x4 trailer I have. In fact I can fit more stuff in it than you can in the ute tray. Kid of a mate rolled mate's Hilux last week. Apparently they are not great at reverse j-turns, and this kid is not great at physics. I'm...

    If you are in the market for a new car it makes sense to at least look seriously at EV. If not and you own your car outright keep driving it until you need/want a new one and consider EV. We won't mention the big difference in lifecycle emissions, even not accounting for recycling. We can't...

    Quite possibly because the perception is the battery is stuffed. Tesla seems to be the exception on holding value because they did a better job with the battery tech in the first generation of the Model 3 and Supercharging infrastructure. I've looked, they aren't cheap second hand. I posted...

    @beeb some are 10k price difference from their petrol equivalent so over 5 years you get the 10k back. This will get much closer in coming years and on some comparisons is very close already. I think the Niro is closer to the Atto when comparing, and they are similar price to Atto for the...
