serpserpserp on VW MY24 Tiguan Allspace (110tsi Life, Petrol, 6-Speed) $39,990 Driveaway @ Volkswagen

If you want a petrol car I guess. But seriously, then you should still not opt for a Volkswagen.

Not really no. BMW just tried pushing a digital subscription on me for maps updates, real-time traffic information and being able to use…

TightG on 20% off Turkish Airlines from MEL/SYD to Europe, Türkiye, Africa, Middle East, Northern Cyprus (Fly Oct-Nov) @ Turkish Airlines

All airlines are like this. We have had Singapore Air delay us for 40 hours. And we had business class tickets.

gasman70 on [Pre Order] Zeekr 7X RWD + Premium Paint + 7kW Charger + Type 2 Charging Cable from $57,900 + On-Road Cost @ Zeekr Australia

They price it in comparison to the competition here in Australia. As more Chinese EV brands enter the market here, I am hoping for prices…

MG was dead before it was resurrected. The Volvo brand is more valuable and the Volvo design is distinct. The one brand that I cannot make…

This may not be the prettiest car on the planet, but neither is the Tesla Model Y. Importantly, it is cheaper.

One of those devices that Apple sells as price anchor. A non-upgradable 256GB SSD will render this laptop unusable for anything but the…

orangecarpet-22 on Starlink Standard Kit with 12-Month $139/Month Residential Plan: $0 Delivered (Select Areas Only, RRP $549) @ Starlink

I don’t watch TV, but I can spot a Sieg Heil salute when I see one. So yes, he is a bad person.

Grok on Starlink Standard Kit with 12-Month $139/Month Residential Plan: $0 Delivered (Select Areas Only, RRP $549) @ Starlink

I wonder if they shouldn’t start negotiating with Eutelsat/OneWeb instead. At least, they have satellites in orbit and are operational.

They have optimised the antenna again. Now comes in a lovely swastika design.

I have decided to avoid American products as best as I can for the next four years.

Nintendo is an awful company. Like how they litigated against open source emulators of the Switch. They even went after the people who…

McMaferMur on [Pre Order] Nintendo Switch 2 Console $696 + Delivery ($0 to Metro/ C&C) @ Officeworks

It will probably be sold out for the first few weeks, mostly due to scalpers buying up supply. But I doubt that we will see a protracted…

Zidago on [Pre Order] Nintendo Switch 2 Console $696 + Delivery ($0 to Metro/ C&C) @ Officeworks

They have not published the SoC specs. But rumour has it that it will be using an Ampere-generation (ie. outdated) GPU using an 8nm (ie.…

Agree. I own one of these. Yes, they are extremely expensive and objectively overpriced. At the same time, using it over other hair dryers…

SonicsBlue on [PS5] Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC $14.97 @ PlayStation

That one I haven’t seen. Only that they fattened Aloy up in the second game. Which is true.

Sadly, no deals for business class fares. Prices for seats at the pointy end of the plane have only ever trended upwards since the…

I hugely regret buying this. The hardware is solid, but they have not many good games. Mostly shovelware.

Slo20 on Tesla Model Y RWD Existing Inventory: $54,900 (2024) & $53,780 (2023, Select States Only) Delivered + On-Road Costs @Tesla

This is nonsense. If you go for the RWD version, then you’ll get an LFP battery that lasts you forever.

If the updated model 3 is any indication then they will make it worse in some aspects (missing indicator stalks).

maxbon commented on Tesla Model Y RWD Existing Inventory: $54,900 (2024) & $53,780 (2023, Select States Only) Delivered + On-Road Costs @Tesla
The RWD version is ideally suited for Australia. It can sustain many more charging cycles and is ideally suited for warmer climates.

Because there are so many. Toyota cars are typically great quality. At least the bodywork panels tend to align.
