High 20s lol - are you a secret Pom?
I grew up somewhere much colder than the UK

Looks very similar to the one in my 24 year old Volkswagen. The hot/cold dial hasn't worked in 23 years because the stupid German engineers decided to a) make the lever behind the dial out of recycled Matchbox cars and b) connected said lever to the hot tap on the other side of the firewall with a choke cable wire run in a path that could only be described as a wonky V. Naturally, the lever broke almost immediately and resisted all attempts to repair it. So I disconnected it and fitted an actual choke cable...I turn a dial a bit, it gets hotter or colder. I don't need to know the current temperature, I can just feel it with a dial.
I hope my new EV comes with a choke cable.

Ours is around 8 years old - it has the same layout as this but with some minor differences.

That explains it then!

Says the guy with an average temperature swing of 14 degrees for the entire year.I turn a dial a bit, it gets hotter or colder. I don't need to know the current temperature, I can just feel it with a dial.
Try a swing of -3 degrees to 49 degrees over the year and see how much you're fucking with the temperature dial then!

I have to play more with the climate-control in my van than any vehicle I've ever driven. As far as I can tell, the cabin temp sensor is in the cargo area (ie: behind the divider wall). Cargo area is hot, A/C goes berserk, cargo area is cold, heater goes berserk. Cargo area gradually changes temp over a long drive? Keep chasing that temp. Nice when it works right, but a dial would honestly be easier. Too many ~15deg mornings and ~35deg afternoons!
dont forget the sheer hassle of those 10 seconds to plug it in, when you could spent 30 minutes in a queue for fuel

No point queuing when there's no fuel (petrol anyway) available. Has been the case locally today...

interesting time to have an ev for sure. i've driven past a few servos my way with people panic buying but amusingly enough people are just making the situation worse by doing this and exacerbating an already bad situation and screwing over farmers freighting and emergency services.

Diesel is pretty much all around the 2.30> mark heading towards 3.
what does that means? Costlier diesel means TFS spend more money on refueling, more money spent on refueling means tasmania's already atrocious budget position becomes worse, Ambulance tas also rely on diesel as well.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
The hilarious part is listening to all the Trump supporters (yes I know a few) bleating about fuel prices.
I had the pleasure of introducing one of them to the leopard eating faces meme and the fat leopard.

The BYD forced 2 year service at about $800 odd is what killed it for me on the Sealion 7. Good to see the numbers are more sensible for an atto.
Wait until you try Full self driving. I totally don't trust the thing but it hasn't stuffed up yet. I still won't ever fully trust it but imo it drives better than half the folks on the road!

Hmm me thinks that your local dealer is having you on.
My 2 year Sealion 7 Performance service will be about $500. I've been getting my BYD servicing done by Mycar Brookvale and they have been great the last 3 years.
Keep in mind that a major service for any Euro would be $800 minimum.

Kind of agree. The other thing that was weird was having dual franchise dealerships operate over each other. Was kind of a strange experience when they started shit canning the other franchise and offering me free chargers and stuff. I kind of thought they might do the reverse if there was a warranty claim lol.
Not even going to go there. Even with ICE i just do it myself and drive it to the grave.
