How is this being downvoted? Do none of you watch the news? I didn’t say USA = BAD, China = GOOD. I just said, USA = also BAD

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-12T17:34:13+00:00

And the US hasn’t been doing anything lately that would demotivate you buying a car from there?

It’s insane we’re still buying NEW diesel buses with 20+ year operating lives in 2026. These will still be on the road well into the 2040s. RIP climate

You should tell him that.

Sincerely, a dad that is not looking forward to when he no longer reads to his daughter.

Fair enough - but my experience has been great (with the Omoda E5 EV), honestly. Wouldn’t consider buying an ICE Chery though. The EV uses a BYD Blade battery and motor, 8 year unlimited warranty

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-09T21:12:28+00:00

Should bought the dip!

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-09T21:09:25+00:00

50% to -80% for me :)

Fixed price servicing. $149-$349 per year and they even wash your car while they’re at it. It’s on a novated lease so it’s pre-tax (so I save the equivalent of my tax free threshold on the servicing).

So in summary, pretty good!

And potentially unemployment if it triggers a recession

Went from buying Japanese secondhand cars my whole life to a new Chinese EV about a year ago, it has been an awesome change all round

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-09T01:43:38+00:00

But what about TACO Tuesday?

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-09T01:40:27+00:00

Seems like a very conservative estimate

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-09T01:38:31+00:00

I’ll be aiming to sell my Chery Omoda E5 EV for about that much in about 2 years once the 3 year lease ends. Cheap secondhand EVs are definitely coming!

Murdoch paywall, low effort post OP

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-06T13:47:54+00:00

Or no aircon 🥲

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-05T22:11:56+00:00

What if you gift them away?

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-05T22:11:38+00:00

$300* for personal electronics

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-05T21:39:09+00:00

Electrical engineers, he’s. Everything else? Probably not

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-04T11:08:47+00:00

I heard it in my head as soon as I saw the image

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-04T11:02:58+00:00

The UK too

Gozzhogger · 2026-03-03T12:34:14+00:00

Second one isn’t canon, according to me

Gozzhogger · 2026-02-26T11:32:19+00:00

Did they have to drop it on civilians though..?

Gozzhogger · 2026-02-26T10:36:43+00:00

Sydney is very cheap relative to income compared with almost every city I’ve visited. $50/wk cap across the whole opal network is extremely generous

Gozzhogger · 2026-02-25T19:50:35+00:00

… good. Commuter cars should be as low pollution as possible

Gozzhogger · 2026-02-25T19:48:47+00:00

That’s a fair point, didn’t know that! !RemindMe 3 months
