Nah mate. Old news. The first 2019 batch had most problems. The ones delivered in 2020 either have nothing, or if you notice anything...

Most of them go back to residential storage (powerwalls etc)

Yeah, nah. You’re not very well informed mate. Even if you charged with brown electricity in AU it’s still much healthier on primary...

oh, also Model S and X have HEPA air filtration with filter 10x bigger than any other car on the market.

Both cars are safest on the market you can get, primarily because of massive crumple zones due to lack of engine at the front (the whole...

I'd get Model 3 Performance with white leather interior - around $117k drive-away in NSW (with all the options) - electric, so instant...

Thinkscape commented on Solar - Can I Make It Pay?
Honestly, the easiest way to get a good ROI is to switch appliances to electric (if you haven't yet), and get an EV (new starting at around...

If you're really willing to spend $50k I'd recommend Hyundai Ioniq or Kona EV (compact SUV but bigger range). Don't waste time with fossils.

ps: when testing WiFi, always test it in local network first - i.e. throughput between local devices, or computer and router. This will be...

Thinkscape commented on Poor Wi-Fi Performance on Gigabit Connection
Current WiFi technology will not give you throughput of 1Gbps. If you want to throw money at the problem ($800+), you can buy one of the...

This has been true for the last 10 years... and we're still waiting for this flood of other EVs that are cheaper and better. I wouldn't...

Where are you getting those theories? There's no license purchase with Tesla. You buy the car and get free updates (like a smartphone)...

Nope. Acceleration 3.4s (3.2s rolling 1ft) is only on Model 3 Performance, which is $108k drive-away in NSW (without FSD) The SR+ for $75k...

I think you're mistaking Ioniq for Kona/eNiro. Ioniq is a hatch: https://www.hyundai.com/au/en/cars/eco/ioniq/electric

@cannedhams I forgot to mention, I highly recommend getting both for a bit longer to try them out. With hyundai you can usually get a demo...

Oh btw - the whole Elon Musk / cult thing - it's up to you. Do you follow BMW CEO on Twitter? Or Hyundai chairman? Do you care? Some people...

Had the same question 6mo ago. Did a test drive of Model X, Model 3 SR+ and the highest-trim Ioniq and Kona. For the sake of comparison...

Seriously, just get a Model 3 already. If you want some objective info about it (without the usual ozb salt) there's a great community in...

aaaaand all the prices were hiked overnight. Another one of those, eh?


M3 SR+ has 54kWh battery, so depending on the size of your PV installation it's between a few hours during peak, up to a few days to get to...

From what I've heard it's closer to 2wks of "normal use", but in case of panic buying I can imagine a lot of people rushing to stations and...

Here's how it works in other countries (that have the interlock system): 1. On first offence you lose license for 6-24 months. 2. On second...

Thinkscape commented on 20% off Apple Products - Apple AirPods $392.46 + 2000 Qantas Points @ Qantas Store
Given it's a reward system reward, not a thing you can purchase with real money, I don't think it should be here.

What do you think would be an effective way to lobby for change of NSW e-mobility laws?
