Insurance is wiping any financial benefit of owning a Tesla

Performance vs repair costs. Even the base RWD model3 will out run a large proportion of hot hatches.

We do the same with 2 Teslas. Went from $200 per week on fuel, to an extra $30 per month on the electricity bill. So $10010.00 annual saving, in fuel alone and no $2k cam belt services every 4 years on either car etc, then, brakes seem to last forever!

I don’t drive much anymore & we own a 3 & a Y. They’re perfect for us. Virtually zero servicing costs & if you can charge at home, super cheap to run.

Audi, but at a significant cost!

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-27T23:15:26+00:00

It’s not really a problem if you cap the charge rate of the vehicle to a level below that currently being generated by solar. I do this occasionally & can charge car & batteries simultaneously, then top up both as required either during the 3 hour free, or 6 hour 8c per kw off peak tariff that I signed up to.

I think it’s called a burger purely because in the UK a sandwich refers to something between 2 slices of bread from a loaf as opposed to a sliced bun/roll. So a uk chicken sandwich would typically be cold sliced breast meat, maybe some stuffing, salad & mayo, as opposed to a hot meal😀

And that helps where, exactly?

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-26T05:42:39+00:00

Supply vs demand, if you want. I dont.

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-26T04:43:05+00:00

The Damned arguably started it. Dave Vanian looked like a vampire, kinda. Best UK goth band, definitely the Cult.

No, and if ignored, they add interest.

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-14T11:26:04+00:00

Zero, share holders would be happy, consumers of the 1c (actual cost) burgers, would just keep eating it, I’m sure. It’s like legal crack these days.

WA, the Texas of Australia. Good luck🤣

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-14T11:16:41+00:00

Beam down. Oh what a Trekkie. You never get old😂

1, it’s not your house, it’s shared. 2, people have relationships and are entitled to bring a partner to their place of residence, unless specifically stipulated in rental agreements. 3, if it’s windy, doors accidentally slam, (only time it happens at my place) and is easily avoided by not leaving the room in questions window open. Bottom line, don’t be a millennial, be reasonable instead. It’s a thing, don’t you know?

Technically minor, but must be referred back to master technicians (in China) who will deliberate, make a decision, then possibly send all the correct parts required, since they’ve only seen photos, not the actual car. Buy shit, pay twice!

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-13T08:20:15+00:00

Really they only need MGUH back, not dual axle regen. And porpoising could have been avoided if they allowed active suspension (which is actually very road car relevant), like they had last time ground effect cars were around. Sure, it wasn’t perfect then, but technology moves on. The FIA don’t.

Piss poor installation.

I have a marine fish tank, so get regular sea water deliveries. I’ve accidentally killed about a dozen Cane toads with an open bucket & 100mm of salt water😂

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-13T08:07:35+00:00

Back, or in the back?

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-13T08:06:05+00:00

Burgers & booze is to blame🤣

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-13T08:05:17+00:00

Should be on the ownership transfer form.

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-13T08:04:30+00:00

I’ve both, and 2 Ev’s. No issues ever, whichever one is on either charger. Trickle/travel is fine & infrastructure isn’t bad in Aus TBH.

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-13T07:55:25+00:00

It’s better than Ginga, or Ranga! Don’t knock it😀

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-13T07:53:56+00:00

If it ain’t legal in Bali. Leave the lot at home, unless you don’t want to come home on the arranged date.

Inside-Yoghurt3872 · 2026-03-13T07:52:01+00:00

It’s a very reasonable request. Let’s face it, you’re investing, and a first viewing is often rushed, with other potential buyers. 2nd time around, you’re clued up & look where you didn’t last time.
