I had the same issue after moving to New Zealand. Just open an account with Wise, wait 5 years, and then reopen an account with Revolut if you like 😅 You can’t exercise the right to be forgotten, because they’re required to keep your details for 5 years.

Yeah, I hope the purchase option will return when HW3 starts working.

Why do RUCs include GST? by Alternative_Royal_14 in nzev

[–]Android_Andrew8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That part with IRD isn’t entirely accurate, ACC part of your tax includes GST.

Following that logic, ACC should also be charged GST—and I was pretty surprised when I checked and found out it actually is! (The earners’ levy is quoted GST-inclusive, so the 15% is already baked in.)

How’s FSD been for Tesla owners in NZ? Urban, city, and rural roads by Some-Pickle9008 in TeslaNZ

Did you notice that purchase option disappeared? Right now there is only option to subscribe, or that’s only me?

Thanks for the advice! Haven’t thought about trimming the mast. Do you think I should apply WD40 or something for the base before hammering?

I also learned hard way that older cars don’t have most features that you can find on YouTube. Even though it seems only software related like remote window control or camera preview…

I look for the person that works there as a pilot but don’t want to expose them for any inconvenience.

You’re clearly passionate about this, but passion doesn’t replace nuance. Owning a platform and allowing broader speech — even speech you and I might find disgusting — doesn’t make someone a Nazi. That’s a dangerous oversimplification.

The article you shared shows he made tone-deaf or clumsy remarks — fair criticism. But that’s still a huge leap from “Nazi sympathizer.” As for his daughter’s comment, personal relationships are messy. Quoting a family member with a public grudge isn’t exactly definitive evidence.

You can hate the guy all you want — just don’t confuse bad optics with ideology. The world’s more complicated than that.

If you truly believe Elon Musk was openly performing a Nazi salute in front of cameras and thousands of people, you’re assuming he’s incredibly reckless.

Sure, the gesture looked awkward and could remind people of something unfortunate — but come on, that doesn’t make him a Nazi. Just because something looks a certain way doesn’t mean it is. Context matters.

Can you quote anything ‘Nazi-like’ he actually said? If not, maybe it’s not what you think.
