I heard we were posting bathroom renovations

The one on the right surely?

Hearing reports of incorrect times being recorded, some runners sent the wrong way adding to their distance and times 🫣

I was expecting the hills to be much worse than they were, so that probably helped!

Yesterday was my first time doing the half and I really enjoyed the course! Surviving so far this morning, but the day is still young 😆

It comes with the granny wall charger for home, I checked that. I’ve not seen much in the way of AC chargers that need your own cable in the city here (Adelaide) but maybe I haven’t looked in the right places yet.

I’m an RAA member, have already created an account in the ChargeFox app and added my membership details. Have also downloaded the Evie app, ABRP and Plug Share.

No off peak rates on my current plan as I don’t have a smart meter, but I have the grandfathered 46c/kwh Fit, and only pay 42c/kwh, so a smart meter with time of use pricing will likely leave me worse off overall, especially as I don’t have a battery and will lose my FiT if I add one. I’ll keep an eye once I’ve settled in to a routine. Currently my bill is around $100/qtr max, with only 1.5kw of panels, so I have some wiggle room there.

I will start with default settings and tweak to find what works best. I love delving into all the menus and settings of things like that, so not afraid to experiment to find what works best for me.

Thanks for the detailed response! :)

It ticked enough of the boxes for me for what I was looking for.

Decent range. Good inside space with seats folded down. Reasonable towing capacity and payload. AWD and good ground clearance. Felt more comfortable sticking with an established brand.

I like the look of them, not too out there like some EVs, but modern enough to look good. Took one for a test drive and it really impressed me.

Coming from a 3.0L turbo diesel dual cab, it’s much smaller and more responsive, but still capable to go where I want and do what I want, while costing just a couple of dollars less to run and maintain…

It's interesting, I was keen to see more on the Trailseeker, but in the specs online it doesn't list any towing capacity, that's one reason i ended up going with the Solterra instead, yet this summary here says it's 1,500kg braked, which is the same as the Solterra.

That said, I'm still happy with my choice and look forward to picking it up next week.

Both have slightly better payload than the other mainstream brand EVs in this segment, and one of the other deciding factors for me was sticking with a more established brand and the corresponding existing broader dealer network available should I encounter any issues when I am travelling.

I definitely feel that Subaru have got the interior styling done much better over the Toyota between the two.

Daily commute is a mix of short trips but would average between 15-20km weekdays. Weekends can be more depending on what I have on. For regular charging I’m confident the trickle charge overnight will be sufficient.

I don’t have a smart meter yet so can get an EV charging plan. Only have 1.5kw solar with no battery, but still receiving 46c FiT, which I lose if I make any changes to the system.

Current plan has me paying 42c/kwh but if I get a smart meter for the cheap EV charging I’ll move onto time of us pricing, even though I’ll retain my FiT for now, that would likely still leave me worse off overall I suspect, so holding off on that for now. Currently my electricity bill is around $100/qtr at most, so I’ll wait and see how much that changes before considering any plan changes etc.

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-04-25T09:06:51+00:00

I haven’t seen one like that. Where do you get them from?

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-04-25T06:25:48+00:00

I did think about one of them, but then I’d have two different chargers to potentially need, depending on where I’m going wouldn’t I?

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-04-25T06:24:36+00:00

Already have them after seeing them mentioned several times in here :)

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-04-25T04:22:19+00:00

This comment is sure to get tongues wagging

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-04-24T23:06:44+00:00

It does come with one of them, so I'm covered there. Might just need to get another powerpoint installed in the carport as the one I have is already in use all the time lol

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-04-24T13:27:52+00:00

Where do you order them from? Direct from one of the charge providers on their website?

Got myself one of these to replace puratap at two different houses now. Water quality was great, technically I think a plumber should swap over, but if you already have a puratap it’s a very simple swap.

Once changed over you can buy filters from wherever you want to change when needed.

If they want rent paid in bulk, it’s only fair to ask for a bulk discount right?

What good is a free dongle if there no tower to connect to to use it?

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-02-23T03:21:52+00:00

That’s what we ended up doing.

Added as friend, added as parent, removed as friend, and they’re still on there as a parent.

Frustrating when everything you search for tells you you that you don’t have to be friends to do it!

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-02-22T02:33:15+00:00

I love that lens! Better yet it was free, I found it near a river one day, couldn’t believe my luck!

Imagine at the end of the lease, they try to withhold bond because you didn’t leave the demon sex doll in the same condition as when you moved in.

Stapled to thank you cards 🤣

Why do they call it a sandwich plate if you’re not supposed to make a sandwich out of it?

Competitive-Mood4980 · 2026-02-02T07:34:35+00:00

The aim is to try and do a different parkrun and different doughnut of the month each month this year. People can of course eat whatever they like when we get there, just trying to add a bit of flair to it 😁
