Might have been driver skill in play there as well, not much opposite lock oversteer happening with the tail-wagging Porche .... just an overpowered VW really, the handling is just as atrocious off the showroom floor, but the race version that passed him, complete with the race experienced...

It threatened to do a nature wash and rinse early on, but it ended up as a baked paint and blow dry for the rain that never happened ..... approaching 12 mths ownership ..... maybe I could take it back to the dealer and ask for a complimentary full vehicle detail for its 1 yr birthday...

Is your Cyberster a RWD or AWD? I think, if I was going to spend that sort of money, it would have to be the AWD and have an LFP or Na+ battery. As it would be coming out of China, wouldn't it already be a non ternary chemistry battery anyway? Or does that only apply to the domestic market? I...

It would be interesting to know what shocks, tyres and spring rates are on the two vehicles being compared, might be something a tech at a dealership would know, or maybe a Google search, verifying the Ai version as factual and not just a percentage of replies thing ...... Sad the interweb has...

Certainly not a balanced look, or even attempting to show a non bias. Can anyone give an opinion regarding the percentage left compared to expected range to make an educated guestimation on his driving style prior the pulling up for a convenience break charge? T1 Terry

The difference he is not mentioning, is he couldn't have parked at the bowser with the nozzle in the car and pumping fuel while he went for a pee, the consul attendant (if they were awake) should have stopped the bowser as soon as the vehicle was unattended. OK, add the co pilot staying with...

Nothing that technical, $$ per 100km will be enough, then translate that to the local pump prices if you want to convert it to ltr/100kms T1 Terry

If you believe the scientists, nature is already doing just that ....... if left uncontrolled, the whole snow part of the cycle will be skipped and it will just fall as rain ..... given enough time, they are suggesting even that part of the cycle will be skipped as well .....:eek: Be careful...

There is a company over this way that build drop in LFP batteries that work, but they are designed as house batteries, so the size would be the problem. It would involve you actually building it or having it built for you, but an Na+ (Sodium ion) cylindrical battery would do the job for life...

Pre-heated snow Clever idea @Rolfe Get to see The lovely cover Then gone away No path shovelling No road salting Best patent now T1 Terry

It was the basis of some brilliant scams though, even the Qld premier and minister for roads were caught in the con by a self proclaimed Dr Brown and his revolutionary Brown's Gas ..... the secret was the whole under floor and boot were jam packed with batteries, along with a trailer that was...

It's day time over here ;) More information in the next bulletin :LOL: T1 Terry

I think it is more a trade-off, by using the cheapest option that they believe will last for the warranty period that is available in bulk, they play the numbers game of failure cost v money saved compared to a better quality controlled more expensive option ........... Sometimes the old adage "...

The one that passed the XPower brought a bit of reality back to it, it might be a quick road car, but it's no full blown race car :) T1 Terry

The Gen 2 Prius have a history of killing 12v batteries when the brake accumulator starts to play up ..... it is buried in the back right hand corner, the boot is an electric unlock, so a major gym workout getting the jump battery onto the terminals ...... till you learn there is provision for a...

Time for sleep Lost 3 places Will be worse 10 hrs ahead Means bed time 10 hrs early Screenshot 1st place Still have that :LOL: :LOL::LOL: T1 Terry

Thanks for that @Joningy, interesting that they have moved the aux battery to the rear compartment rather than the front ..... T1 Terry

Like: don't waste peoples time if it's cold and there will be nothing to see? Flashing children is just poor form Be ready to run if you flash a granny and she thinks it's a call to action Be prepared for any female to threaten you with legal action in the small claims court T1 Terry

Fortunately, over here in Aust, that is a guaranteed fine and loss of points on their licence ..... and double points during any holiday period. There is actually quite a collection of fines for such an offence, driving on the wrong side of the road, facing the wrong way when parked, head lights...

I was caught a few times like that, it was me trying to do a heel & toe start on a hill, there is no throttle response when you have your foot on the brake .... Hard to learn how to use the electric park brake and how to get it to release at the right time .... applied the electric park brake to...
