  Why do people even care what the RRP for anything is? Would it be a bargain if the RRP was $100k and you could now buy it for $49,888 using the "top secret" coupon code?

      Yeah, the RRP isn’t nonsense. It should be the primary gauge of value for an item. Where the RRP isn’t relevant is when it’s not accurate or truthful, or if it hasn’t been sensibly reduced with age and inflated during certain retailer promotions

      Watch the video & research. BYD has more useful features & is much better value. The autopilot is not applicable to AU & it's overhyped/not safe yet.
      BYD Seal Dynamic (Premium & Performance are better) has longer range (~144km),
      
      BYD Seal midrange has napa leather & bigger seats, ventilation & heat for all seats, 360° camera, quieter inside, better interior, drivers cluster, Head Up Display, indicator stalk, really nice centre console with actual buttons, rear video screen…

        That alone right now is a defining feature for Tesla. Over time it will change but as of right now this is a huge advantage for Tesla.
    - Franc-T on 18/10/2023 - 14:53
      
      Im not sure why power/torque and 0-100 are the only factors to decide which is better.
      
      Both are fast enough for people not after sports cars and features/safety and price are determinants.
      
      Also it really depends which model you are comparing.

        @Franc-T: Because they can get to next red light quicker so they can stop, decompress then floor it again. Or try to slide themselves dangerously into every gap in the traffic.
        
        Tesla drivers keep telling us about the performance per $ and I tell them to calculate total number of seconds saved vs the $ they paid in premium to just a slow car (say a Camry) and they go quiet.

        Who actually cares when you've can charge for free from solar?
        Then the fact if you pay $10k less on the price of the car can the returns pay for the electricity
        
        A lot of people think of it as a one sided equation and talk out of their rear hole
        
        deejaygrub on 27/10/2023 - 11:27
        
        @netjock: You're never really charging for free on solar. There's the opportunity cost. So if your feed-in tariff is $0.12 / kw, you would be losing that by charging your car. So essentially, you are paying that to charge.
        
        Plus for road trips, you would most likely be charging at fast chargers which would cost quite a bit more.

        @netjock: Ah I see….
        
        Well solar is not free but pretty cheap… a lot of people don't drive much during the day as they're either at work or home.
        
        And you don't need a whole day in the sun to charge the car, just a few hours should give you enough to top up for the night crawling and even day crawling…
        
        netjock on 31/10/2023 - 12:44
        
        @deejaygrub: You seen the solar production charts?
        
        In Melbourne a 6.6kw will produce 40kwh in summer with a bell shaped curve. To capture 20kwh which is enough for 100km of range you'll need to be home between 10am - 2pm. 6.6kw is $5k before subsidy or $3.5k after. If you want a 10kw then it is $10k or $8.5k after subsidy.
        
        deejaygrub on 04/11/2023 - 16:52
        
        @netjock: Of course! I got 6.6kw solar which is a no brainer. Pays for itself in just a few years. It charges the EV via charge hq on pure sunlight. Occasionally I've charged at shopping centres and a supercharger for road trip. You can probably pay double what you would for an ice car and the TCO of would be about the same after 5 years.

      Say the guys who spruk freedom of speech, then cannot handle the discourse of freedom of speech….
      
      That is not what freedom of speech means. This is quite often confused by many people, but the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution which forms the basis of Classical Liberalism movement is that the government shall not interfere with an individual's right to express themselves.
      
      Here is the text:
      
      "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "
      
      In this case IF the CCP and their proxies are participating in public forums to influence discussion by promoting or suppressing comments then it is a breach of free speech.

        I would think most are just normal people not being very articulate.
        
        As long as the government isn't suppressing those opinion why does it matter?

Interested in real world range at 110km, those figures above aren’t remotely close
- sachz on 17/10/2023 - 20:40
  
  probably between 300km to 350km at that top speed..

    Atto 3 ER which has crappy drag coefficient can do 300km at 110kmh. The Seal Dynamic should easily do 350km or more.
    - Naigrabzo on 20/10/2023 - 13:57
      
      Does that mean after a single stop the range is 80% of 300km that given that you can't charge it to 100% without waiting for one hour?
      
      I bet it's 20% range loss within 5 years. Imagine that.

        @Naigrabzo: What? Struggle to understand what you are trying to say. It's LFP battery, you can charge to 100% (and you should at least once a week). Also LFP has between 3,000-10,000 cycles, it will take a looooong time to degrade.
        
        Naigrabzo on 21/10/2023 - 23:16
        
        @Bigboomboom: If you go on a trip, only the first charge is 100%. After that you can only charge to 80% unless you want to stop for one hour every 2 hours. So if you look at real range = 80% WLTP range. Then practical range is only 80% of real range.
        
        All batteries degrade fast if you expose them to extreme weather conditions. There is no way the current EVs batteries will last 3000 cycles.
        
        Bigboomboom on 22/10/2023 - 00:02
        
        @Naigrabzo: What extreme weather conditions? Plenty of EVs doing 500k - 1m km, BYD E6 and Tesla.
        
        Why would you want to wait an hour every 2 hours? Two hours driving ~ 200km distance ~ 55%, depending on your current SoC doesn't take much to replenish that at all. Seal Dynamics does 10-80% in 29 mins. Besides why would you need 100% charge when you stop every 2 hours?
        
        20% loss after 5 years, sure if you drive 100k km a year. Try again.

  Just as petrol cars suck at low speed, ev’s weakness is high speed. If you’re running long distance all the time, choose a diesel. But most people are just jamming up the traffic where an EV really shines. In that case don’t even need extended range.

        When did I say this EV?
        
        And this EV comes in a model which does do 3.8s to 100. Clearly you realised your car can’t beat this.

        @ATangk: Really question is what car are they driving that manages 0-100km/h in 7.5s whilst stuck in traffic? I believe your comment was about how much more efficient EV's are in stop and start traffic?
