No I didn't compare. Being a bit of a cynic I'm assuming that the tax incentives being offered on EVs in 3 years won't be as good as they…

Sounds like this deal isn't for you. I always find it amusing how people need to tell others that their, unrelated very specific, situation…

I've never had to wait anywhere to charge my car. I've also never had to wait out in public to charge my phone. I charge both at home.

Yes top bracket, there will be some benefit at $85k but it will be less (32.5% vs 45%). This calculator gives you a pretty good idea of…

My insurance was $2,000. And because it was purchased through a novated lease it was effectively $1,100.

No you can't but you get the GST (10%) off the price with a novated lease which, in my case, was more than $6k. And ALL of the repayments…

I found that the numbers you get from here are pretty accurate. https://www.smartleasing.com.au/

Simplicity. Can't seem to do longer than 5 years.

I don't think so. I've never heard a vehicle before, usually just buy cash. But yes, the money that would be spent upfront would be best or…

Also here. Tesla Model 3 has done over 650,000 km on original batteries in Australia. Battery was replaced under warranty. He also mentions…

This is correct. In the top tax bracket it is cheaper to lease than purchase outright. I have enough cash to buy outright but it doesn't…

Yes. This is based on our out of pocket costs. Essentially you can direct some of the dollars that would be going to the ATO into car…

Yeah my friend bought one (ATTO 3) after pulling out on a Tesla Model 3, due to delivery time. She has been raving about it and was what…

Have you had a bad experience with BYD?

No. It stands for Build Your Dreams. But, from what I can tell, that branding didn't seem to be working in the West so they abbreviated it…

I have a similar situation, however my 22 year old Japanese import needed more in repairs than it was worth. Bit the bullet and got an EV…

It would be correct if fuel production decreases. It is a possibility, time will tell.

If you have access to novated leasing through your employer you can save a LOT of money on an EV. I bought one recently and the total of…

I went to check out both the BYD Atto 3 and Seal a month ago. Both are great cars.

Thanks for this. I just got a new car that supports wireless charging but neither my or my wife's current phones (Pixel 6a and Pixel 5a)…

This has ended. Now $468.76

I bought both at the same time. I think the LCD version is great and offers much better value for money. If this is your first Steam Deck,…

I'm typing this on a Lenovo Tab P11 Pro (1st Gen). This has been my daily driver for about 2 years. It's a great tablet. I went the Pro for…

I got the game and the drum from PlayAsia for $99.14 delivered back in 2021, but haven't seen it cheaper than that on the website.

Yeah, this is precisely what I bought it for. All PS1 and PS2 lightgun games work flawlessly through Batocera. Literally plug and play.…

Yeah not sure. I don't think I have a 4K 144Hz screen to test it on. I have an LG C2 OLED but that doesn't support USB input and I think…

It's great! I bought it for a very specific purpose, as an emulation/lightgun system. It's runs PS2 and GameCube games flawlessly upscaled…

Could you do that through the USB4 port? The single USB4 port is located on the front which I think is an 'interesting' design choice.
