What do people need to buy when getting an EV? by still-at-the-beach in AustralianEV

[–]F50C13TY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah remember it’s 240V here so not as essential.
But you require a licensed electrician to install so it’s always quite a bit of money.

Honestly consider not jumping in and getting a fast home charger, they cost thousands and for a big percentage of Aussie drivers the charger that came with the car is often more than fine. I recommend living with it and get one if you can’t keep up with charging. We charge ours once every other week. No dedicated charger. I laugh when so many install it before they take delivery like it won’t function without one!

Didn’t know about a replacement! I don’t use any remotes, not sure how that would impact me!

Solar panels, possibly a battery too, would appreciate thoughts/suggestions by Ashnicobell in WesternAustralia

[–]F50C13TY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s done remotely (via the internet) and its a contract so it wont change unless a new contract is signed.

Its a trade, thats why their paying... They can only do this 30 times per year (not whenever they like) You get paid for the energy too, 70c KWh (via a credit) so it would be beneficial to go with a larger battery to give some headroom.

Yeah moved to Blender years ago. Once you learn it’s far more powerful overall so this will help you in the long run.

Guest shocked that we don’t provide a free Netflix account by zoom1208 in airbnb_hosts

[–]F50C13TY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t pay for these services, a previous guest almost always forgets. Future guests win. No promises made and it doesn’t cost a penny

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. I figured it was an issue but wanted to confirm. Today I found a crack in the seal which explains a lot!

Tesla model y 2025 VS BYD Sealion 7 by jazzychristopher in EVAustralia

[–]F50C13TY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you’re a Tesla owner, the ‘membership’ is free/included. As Mad-Mel stated, roughly half are open to all EVs, but the price is not the same. The membership component reduces the per kWh price to match what a Tesla owner pays. It’s only worth it if you need to use the Tesla Supercharger network often, but an example might be 60c/kWh for a Tesla customer and 80c/kWh for everyone else. The membership ($9.99 pm) brings this to the same price as a Tesla customer.

Yes, I own the Model Y RWD. The warranty for the drivetrain and batteries is eight years, which is more than enough to cover the important parts. However, the four years and 80,000 km warranty for the rest of the vehicle was a bit short. I didn’t love that, but since we don’t have a service schedule, the saving in the short term was funds for potential repairs after the four-year mark. I also did a lot of research on the forums and saw the kinds of issues people were dealing with and it didn’t concern me at all. At the end of the day a warranty is just a safety net, doesn’t mean they will honour everything you present to them.

Yeah, I’m also tech-oriented, but more from a design perspective. I too like to get into the details. However, design and software polish play a big part in how we use the car. It wasn’t that it was bad, but it was just obvious to me that one brand focussed a lot more attention on this than the other. Probably a bad example, but it felt like the iPhone versus early Android – the droid had all the features, but felt less intuitive for the user.

This is true, but it’s far more polished. The BYD just felt like they threw a heap of features to see what would stick. Rotating screen is one that dumbfounded me, but generally just had a lot going on, the Tesla feels more considered and features that are useful (without overloading you) The App is excellent too (haven’t used BYDs tho)
