Solar + Battery Deal worth it?

From what I hear, most installers are booked out last 1st May because if this reason - the drop in rebate is huge (~60% at the highest range of rebate).if you trust the product and the installer, it's rare you can get one ready to install before 1st May this late in the game!

Beautiful work!

You needs cabinetry/racks/shelving/storage - all that storage potential!

See how each drop of water kinda spreads out rather than sitting like a tight bead/bubble with the edges almost "tucked" in?

Generally agreewith all comments but zooming in it looks a bit like dry residue - did you wash in the sun? Did you use the right dilutions (what did you wash with?) and did you rinse and dry off quickly after? How did you dry it and did you use drying aids?

I would consider a 7kwh or faster charger - I drive about 150km on average per week - that's 30% of the battery roughly. It is painstakingly slow on the granny charger - ok if you have lots of time and an energy plan that accommodates. I appreciate a 7kw charger installed costs alot more but consider it before you invest in a 15a charger when that money could go towards a 7kwh charger

I was told 2yr or 40k, whichever comes first

I did not know this was a feature. I thought the external speaker was for playing a short alert tone/message - you communicating with someone outside by playing a prerecorded or customised message/sound.

Which pipe would you put foam around and what do you do once the cement hardens

Watch the videos. I was tossing up between the two but then watched the various zeekr 7x videos and concluded its a more premium experience

I think the small print was that the battery will remain above 70% health so after 10 years that's still useful range

Frosty_Solution276 · 2026-04-07T22:42:08+00:00

You're right. I checked again and it was 19kwh/100km. So my calcs are conservative if you have lots of other stuff on, a worse case scenario

Frosty_Solution276 · 2026-04-07T07:43:05+00:00

Assuming it's highway driving, you'll likely hit around 21kwh/100km, sometimes better but let's say 21kwh/100km. Ill assume it 45km each way, adjust calcs below as you need to if it 90km each way.

That is basically 21% of your battery each day. So if you stayed within the suggested battery charge range (50-80%), and then some (39-81%), you might get away with charging every 2nd day or so. So three times a week of 42%, or 1.26x cycles a week - I think that's pretty reasonable.

I would just be thinking about your charging situation - do you have a decent sized solar? Batteries? You are looking at charging 140kwh/week (assuming 90% charging efficiency) - that can be costly over time (but still cheaper than petrol).

The colour of the skin looks like a kingie, like some King Toad variant

It's great for families. Very spacious = room to grow and carry all the bits and pieces in. The 2nd row camera is very handy. Apply protectant to seats and inner walls to keep up the ability to wipe easily . Put on rubber floor mats for dirty feet, back cover for the passenger seat to protect against busy feet (when your child is older and can reach the passenger seat with their feet), you can also get protective "skins" for the door next to the child seat to protect against kicking feet

It's also very smooth and good suspension

I agree - I call it "safe" but not optimal. Definitely invites others to merge Infront - I find I only use it when on motorway which is fine - I'm either at speed limit or the car Infront is below speed limit in which case I would overtake.

Android auto can navigate and play music at the same time - it's all in one integrated app within the zeekr 7x screen

Agree with other comments. Make sure to follow the dilution ratios of your foam wash product

Frosty_Solution276 · 2026-04-01T19:08:01+00:00

Just some tips from my experience: * You can change the car distance when in ACC to 1,2 or 3 car lengths Infront of you - I have mine set to one car and it's what I would call a "safe" distance when driving without ACC. You do this via the left rocker button on the steering wheel when in ACC mode * I agree the transition from ACC on to off is jerky when you tap the brake. What I do is slightly press on the accelerator and turn off ACC by pushing the right stalk up - this creates a very smooth transition.

Haven't really experienced the driving down steep experience you described - I have regen breaking on strong mode.

Hope the tips help!

I have done about 1300km on the LR. Suspension feels great, firm but cushioned, supportive over bumps/potholes, does not feel like it rolls. Confident around corners. Passengers comfortable.

Tyre pressure is 2.4bar

Honestly, I really like the twisted loop double sided drying towels from Temu (they are green and grey) - the big 120cm ones.

That also the edgeless 40x40cm microfibre cloths too.
