    It’s glass roofed, even a mild day in AU will have the AC on.
    It's a euro site. I don't think the heat knocks them around nearly as much as the cold. What does kill range is high speed highway.

    I think if it gets really hot they do use power to cool the batteries.

    This headline caught my eye. Norway: Plug-In Car Sales Collapsed By 80% In January 2023
    Seems they are going to tax cars based on weight and vat will be applied to EV's over a certain price. Looks people only want to be "green" when they are subsidised to do it.

    Nice. They are a neat car. Underrated IMHO. The facelift is a good upgrade too.

    Saw my first BMW EV this morning. Not entirely certain which one. Pure battery one as no engine air intake at all. At a guess I have seen 200% or more this year already than the entire of last year.

    The FBT exemption will be taken up by a lot of people I think. Leased cars are back on the market in 3 years meaning the second hand market will be fatter than its currently slim volumes.

    Good lord! Surely not!

    Some people have been saying that for about a decade or so.

    No, James, but everyone still has to pay for it whether they like it or not.

And yes, as Mike says, who will pay for the roads?

    All those who could afford the initial outlay for home solar a decade ago got all sorts of financial benefits at the expense of those who could not. The same thing is happening here, only this time it's far worse for the poorer in our society for who a new car purchase, any new car purchase, is a dream. And I know something for sure, and that is there's no way I'd buy a second hand Tesla.
    After buying 2 Second hand D3s with a bloody motor fail in the current one I hear you What is interesting on Longevity of batteries is Toyota Prius promise to be a $3K replacement cost.

    Not suggesting Tesla can do that. The Giga factories being built will bring battery prices down and 2025 will add significantly better battery tech we have looked at. (I own some of them so It might be a very bad investment )

    I do not like the Model 3 display - do not tell my wife!!

    On an entirely other front GOOGLE ingrates to my one and many many others. The Meta BING and google AI integration soon will be very interesting.

    My ev is not one pedal driving. The Tesla largely is. Both have a brake pedal. I have to use mine to stop fully.

    A EV electronic guru here has hacked his/hers to provide one pedal and higher braking setting to a MG. Not at all sure what that does to the warranty of course. He/She is confident it is not an issue!

    Software hacks to our computer type Landrovers are not uncommon. Flash to ECU chips is a hack.

    I suspect issues with hacks via AI will add a layer of complexity to both EV and ICE fairly soon.

    Some may be very good. The issue might not be so simple of course. The Mistakes by the "BARD" cost shareholders 100 billion $USD.

    Quantum computing anyone
