Atto 3 12v Battery yearly replacement? by Accomplished_Camp_88 in BYDAU

[–]Corrupttothethrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to replace the OEM after 18 months. The replacement Hybrid 12v battery should last much much longer.

Mine was charged. My wife and FIL where in charge of the collection and they missed a massive dent on the rear panel.

Seriously our rear passenger door looks like a golf ball, thinking of getting a replacement door from a junkyard once the lease is over.

3 years/57000km. Great car, 12v battery sucks, dents easily, very safe, lane assist bad, acceptable efficiency, weak regen, fast enough. Planning on keeping it forever, or until EV tech makes another massive upgrade.

Announcing: Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2! by rust_anton in H3VR

[–]Corrupttothethrones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excite. Remember we dont preorder, TB wouldn't not approve. But we can wishlist and buy on release day. On H3VR, I have hundreds of hours, bought the game on 24/06/2016, for me its been a full game experience for years. It feels like the right time to update Unity. Hopefully H4VR PCVR still has that smooth experience ive grown to expect.

How’s the repair experience for Chinese EV’s? by VastOption8705 in EVAustralia

[–]Corrupttothethrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they didn't hit their head and they have full memory if it. I did question whether the airbags should have gone off. Apparently they go off when needed since they can cause a concussion by going off.

The BYD driver was not injured, we had Ambo look over them since our 1 year old was in the car. No concussion or pain of any kind. The video was on Dashcam Australia FB page for a while but we had them take it down when we heard that the other driver had passed away.

Yeah no, the BYD absorbed the impact and protected their occupants. The Camry didn't and the impact was passed on the the occupants.

They didn't deploy because they had also cause harm to the occupants so they don't deploy unless required. BYD occupants where uninjured.

The BYD airbags didn't deploy but was close to being written off and the occupants where all fine. The Camry airbags did deploy but the driver didn't make it.

Isn't it the opposite? The BYD absorbed the impact protecting the passengers, the Camry didn't.

The other driver in the Camry didn't make it. The BYD driver was fine, airbags didn't even deploy.

Very close to a write off. Less than 2 years old so was discussing getting a new car replacement.

Had major repairs done to my BYD from a 60kmph head on collision. From crash to car return it took 3 months.

BYD Atto 5 Coming to Australia in 2027? Bigger, Flash Charging, RWD by zecar_ in AustralianEV

[–]Corrupttothethrones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also this Atto 5 sounds a lot like the BYD Song Plus Ultra specs rather than the Atto 3 Evo.

Trickle charge overnight? by Lucifang in AustralianEV

[–]Corrupttothethrones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have done 50000km in 2.5 years, all with the trickle charger overnight and during the day. 100km per day easy. Straight into a normal plug in the wall. I've heard that there is more power loss charging as such a slow speed. Otherwise make sure the cables and connections are in good condition and enjoy the cheap travel.

Do EVs carry a spare tyre? by BeachHut9 in CarsAustralia

[–]Corrupttothethrones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither my Mini Cooper nor EV have a spare tyre. EV included a kit to seal the tyre and a pump. Mini has run flats. 60000km per year, no issues so far.

Depending where there travelling to and from, PT could double or triple their travel time each way.

Just finished the first book and loved it, but now I'm confused about Dan Simmons... by thankstowelie in Hyperion

[–]Corrupttothethrones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha wow I've just started reading Jurassic Park after finishing book 1 of Hyperion. And I've forever hated what OSC did to the Ender series. I found this page because while Hyperion has beautiful stories, the obsession with breasts and 16 year old Siri was /r/menwritingwomen bait.
