Nah mate, stating the facts as a user of both hybrid and EV. Also have done a massive amount of research on how DMI works in BYD cars. Mild…

Love the sarcasm there. I drive a model 3 and always indicate when I change lanes, this is kind of mandatory if you use autopilot as I do…

Atto 2 (both EV & DM-i), Ora 5, Jaecoo J5 all are pretty small SUVs and have rear vents.

None, but there are so many times I have wished that I didn't have to stop at a fuel station. I'd rather stop near a nice park, waterfall…

Rav4 is slightly more than you purchased it over a year ago? LOL. Which drug are you on right now? Fixed price servicing is handy though…

Phillipine Atto 2 DM-I Dynamic (similar specs as Essential in Australia with smaller battery and 45L fuel tank) achieved 1340 km without…

Well, then they're not sticking with what they're saying really. You can check yourself, Sealion 5 can certainly be insured.

Exactly. I'm 100% with you on this. China spying my a** comments are so hilarious (as if these people are so important for Chinese…

Lots of people use hybrids, and what's wrong with using EV in the begining and as a Hybrid later? It does not come down to ICE only, it's…

and still doesn't have half of the features of the BYD base models! I've always been (still am) a Toyota fan but these massive gaps are…

Which is pretty simple really. With my model 3 now it has become second nature to stop the car in the garage, get out and plug the charger…

You have no clue about how DM-I (or hybrid system) works do you? The combined torque is 300 Nm and is available whenever you push it. Some…

Imagine the guy who buy 4x4 for the family but only drive 4x4 trip once a year (wasting fuel every other single day of the year)…

Out situation is exactly the same. And judging by reviews overseas with base models, this 39K can be as high as 60 km if driven around town.

I'm actually selling my Corolla cross to buy the Atto 2 DM-i and will probably save a bit too. Test drove the Atto 2 today and it's a…

I have a model 3 but I beg to differ. I'd much rather have one PHEV SUV and a model 3 as two cars for a family. EV mode of the PHEV is for…

Sealion 5 is the old architecture (rebadged to Australian market) so most of the newest ADAS tech weren't there, which was the main reason…

Not sure how true is this because I tried Sealion 5 which had 3 stars and it let me insure it. I also tried few other cars which are…

He was specifically referring to Tesla's which do not have a scheduled maintenance. As a Tesla owner, I can certainly see this figure be…

It's a nice car but 'better car in every way' is a bit far fetched.

This is definitely NOT true. I own a Tesla and drive it everyday along with my trusty Toyota. While Tesla does some things better than…

Thanks OP. Quick question. We plan to spend 4 weeks in Europe next year, in few travel legs will include overnight sleeper rails (i.e.…

Well, Toyota hybrid legacy since 1999 (with many original Prius cars still on the road with sometimes over 1 million kms) tells a…

I was born in Sri Lanka but no longer a citizen there. I travel often, been to many countries, but still love going to Sri Lanka for…

SE Asia is closer and probably a bit cheaper as well, but not so sure about the 'better' part. Looks like you've had some rough experiences…

It's actually 'are you bow one' to be precise (though the meaning is 'may you live longer') To be honest, this is rather formal way of…

I have seen this pattern as well, you are probably correct (though I've seen many Enginners of that origin driving Tesla's, not necessarily…
