OziShopper on $4,000 Cashback on in-Stock BYD Sealion 6 Essential & Premium Models @ BYD

Sealion 6 on non-novated lease is better value than FBT exempt Atto 3/EX5 on a novated lease?

beesider commented on Apple iPhone 16 Pro: 128GB $1524.99 ($205 off), 256GB $1729.99 ($200 off) Delivered @ Costco (Membership Required)
There's been so many sales, cash back, discounted gift cards offers on Apple products lately. They must be struggling with sales figures.

410km range on EX5 Inspire which most are buying as it has ventilated seats. Still a 17% difference. 80% charge for daily use is fine. You…

Tesla's insurance costs are double the price of other EVs. It adds up over the years. However, having bought a Chinese EV I'm now annoyed…

ozisaver on [Pre Order] Free 7kW MG Charge Hub Valued at $1,199 for The First 500 Orders of MG S5EV (from $40,490 Driveaway) @ MG Dealers

My understanding is, their ChargeHub is a smart charger with OCPP support. Such chargers start from $1000. The RRP looks to be within the…

Mine doesn't feel like it's doing 7 sec to 100 km/h. The reviewers pointed out the same. One of them timed it and it was 8 sec. Maybe with…

Don't worry about the torque in EX5. There's not much torque until the car hits 40 km/h. They suppressed the power output at low speeds to…
