We have some rather snarky union delegates that love throwing stones - recent vote of no confidence was a cracker.

Hitachi have a partnership with Honda to produce electric motors and GE are making them. I'm not sure about Siemens.

TL;DR pls? Hate clickbaity headlines where the presenter usually reveals some bullshit we already know.

Jason Cammisa videos are always worth a watch. Just a little history of the car.
The $35M bit is if you'd bought 100K of Tesla stocks at the time instead of buying the car for 100K, they'd worth 35M now

let you google that for me

The whole twitter thing is very very weird... I still have no idea why he cares about that crap.

With the fuel cost savings, these "entry-price" EV's are looking better all the time. I reckon we will still see the prices start to ratcheted down even further over the next 2 years though (Probably not much in 23-24FY IMO, but 24-25 I reckon we be when there's enough production volume to see the prices really start to tumble on EVs).Cheapest new EV in Oz:

Im thinking my option will be a used one, one of the current new ones - last versions of the current shape. If its like virtually every other car I liked I will prefer the original styling - facelift models never seem to be an improvement...

The Model 3 (2021+) has a real world highway range of 405km, the MG 370km, BYD <300km.
Not easily, maybe not at all. 360km real world range. Tesla is miles ahead on efficiency, Atto 3 LR has a larger battery by 3kw/h than Tesla but gets ~40km less real world range.

It seems to be very tyre dependant. The old OEM BYD tyres are awful.The Model 3 (2021+) has a real world highway range of 405km, the MG 370km, BYD

We fitted Pirelli Scorpion Verdes and that's improved the range by maybe 5%+. I haven't done a full to empty test in eco mode but I expect we would get 400kms of urban driving and 10%+ less for highway driving.
I imagine the new Conti Ecocontact 6 SUV, which I believe is the new OEM for the Atto 3, getting similar performance.

PS it's also worth considering whether you will do a full 300km+ trip without a stop. I generally like to stop for a rest every 2 hours, and I'm pretty sure I could stop somewhere with a charger nearby most of the time.
The other thing to consider is battery degradation over time. Just because the car can do 400km now, will the car be able to do that in 3 years time?

I don't think it would. 10% gradient at some point
Round trip.

Thinking Cupra Born @ 500kms or push the finances for a Hyundai Ionic 6 @ 600kms or a fucking hybrid???
