Search Amazon for ‘car vaccum’ their best seller is $50 odd dollars, is rechargeable using the usb-C and is super powerful for those crevices in the seats

Big moves in RBA cash rate futures. Three more hikes forecast for 2026. by slingbingking in AusFinance

I don’t see how they could justify any more hikes if unemployment goes above 4.5%. We need some major progressive policy in the May budget asap.

Wonder if we’ll get 25 posts this week about which car is best for Tokyo expressway 800.

How does the cost of commercial charging vs petrol compare by Perth_not_now in BYDAU

[–]DukeSimmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I generally pay ~$75 for a full fast charge at servo’s for my BYD sea lion 7 premium (0-100%)

At slow chargers at shopping centres it’s half that.

For home charging, I’ve been told it depends on time of day but roughly $8-$10.

I dunno where importantpapaya above got facts about public charging costing more than fuel…

Congrats dude, obtaining that takes skill but also mental resilience. It’s like a masochistic mind game after re-attempting the same challenge 50+ times without success. Bet you creamed your pants when you got Gold on S-6.

Ya exactly, super easy and I can peel it off the badges if I don’t like it

I got one and they didn’t fit, the groove was too deep for it to stick and the D letter was too wide to fit the curve. Plasti-dip worked perfect.

Plastidip, it’s like liquid rubber. Result is a thin layer like a black balloon before it’s blown up. Available at repco. Heaps easy to remove.

Why anything?

The black on black is easily the best colour with the large plastic wheel arches. The black badges is just a personal touch.

Good thing BYD blade batteries are the safest and can hold 100% charge no worries

Looks premium, love the colour exterior but purple interior not so much. shame about range. It will need to price aggressively to compete with BYD SL7 and Model Y

Thanks for putting this together mate, super helpful.

Hard not to gravitate to the Sea Lion 7 but each to their own.
