My spidey senses are screaming: sarcasm!

Obviously, if a train satisfies all of your transportation needs then don't bother with a car. Lucky you.

That surprises me. It's not what I experience in my BYD Seal. Maybe it's because I'm based in the outer suburbs and do a lot more freeway…

I do have an EV. CLTC and NEDC are known to be far too optimistic. Even WLTP is optimistic. The American EPA method of measuring range is…

125 km NEDC. NEDC = not even damn close. Expect 85 - 95 km under favourable conditions. I'd be interested if it were a pure electric wagon.

I think you just need to log in to Humble to be eligible for the coupon code

And it also takes cars off roads, saving $$$ spent of road infrastructure and making it easier for those who must drive.

I believe Landman is on Paramount and I've heard great things about it.

Yep. The car was reporting 10L/100km. Or 10km/L - weird! My daily driver is a sedan BEV (BYD Seal Dynamic), so maybe I drove it a bit…

I had a rental Santa Fe Hybrid. I only did 50km of urban driving in Brisbane. I was surprised to see it report fuel economy of 10L/100km.…

Sounds like it's almost worth it just for the voice talent 😄

Yep. I find 7kW is fine for me. 11kW would be plenty.

I had the same issue with the earlier model: "JetBlack Volt". It seems their quality control is a bit spotty. I also found their support to…

One of the reviews mentions that Australian Bosch 18V batteries don't fit this.

Good deal if you want to own the ebooks. Alternatively borrow from the library or listen to the audiobooks on Spotify Premium, if you have…

I'd expect to pay just over $80 per GP5000 tyre normally.

Without the fly on, there would be no sun protection. It's just flywire. With the fly on, it would get hot inside.

Yeah, very different. Game of Thrones has several concurrent storylines and is quite political. Cradle has only one storyline and is easier…

Bluetooth was fine

FYI: I tried using the USB dongle on my TCL TV. The audio came through, but it was much too loud and I couldn't adjust the volume on either…

How did you do that? By signing up to Apple TV+ through Prime with the current special? Sounds like a great deal.

Great. Thanks.

So it's OK for solar systems up to 6.6 kW, but not recommended for larger systems because it wouldn't make use of the extra power generated?

Mr Whippy will be furious

Tesla may not have a servicing schedule, but I think all the rest do. The services are overpriced in my opinion, but i expect the service…

All new EVs will need to make a sound of some sort at lower speeds in Australia from November. Hopefully they don't all sound like ice…

These books are well regarded. I enjoyed them. I've been disappointed with another of Will Wight's other series that I tried, but Cradle is…

It has a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. It seems like Ford has given up on safety ratings for the Mustang ICE sports car.

I've been meaning to read this series for quite a while. I didn't realise the books were so short at around 150-170 pages each. I wouldn't…

I liked the Cradle series. I really didn't like the Last Horizon series. It was a DNF for me. I'll give this a shot.
