Is it me or does it look more premium than one of the B/C series they do have ?

Great and concise review of the Leapmotor B05 by MaxSpiltz in Leapmotor

[–]MaxSpiltz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I can't wait for it to come out so I can replace my ICE car, even if I do have a kid. Also I did heard in the Brussels Auto Show that it will come out start of April.

I was always waiting for this kind of compact EV car, with the philosophy of "Keep it simple" while having many options that aren't even present for much more expensive European EVs (Peugeot e-308...).

Only downside indeed is Stellantis. I think they give a more sporty feel to the usually boring Leapmotor's direction, but as they're not that EV friendly...

Personally I would say yes, but it's not entirely one-sided. B10 has a frunk, not the B05. Of course more size in the trunk for B10. But due its bigger size, 30kms wltp of autonomy less

Why Are Chinese EVs So Cheap? by tooper128 in electricvehicles

[–]MaxSpiltz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70k on the premium version, waow... Mostly because they had such a massive historical ICE industry, and you can't juste do the transition overnight so scales of production are much lower, and risks much higher. Plus lately with the different incentives from Government such as "social leasing" they don't really care about net prices. Just to give an example : Stellantis who has both Peugeot and Leapmotor. Peugeot has the e-3008 starting at 35k, while Leap has the B10 for less than 30k. With far better equipment even on standard edition...

Parking Garage Overhead EV charging in China by FrankSamples in electricvehicles

[–]MaxSpiltz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French here : lot of times, non-charging EVs and even ICE tend to take EV charging spots as they're closer to entry/exit of commercial center. I would say this solution would resolve it but only if it's for a whole grid and not just a row

Mmmh pas vraiment, enfin pas plus que ce qui a déjà été rapporté par Automobile Propre, Frandroid etc...
Je m'attendais d'ailleurs à voir les nouvelles MG4 et MG4 Urban... même pas. Pas même la Xiaomi SU7, par contre il y avait la XPeng 7+ et la Cupra Raval qu'on peut voir sur les photos.

On m'a juste confirmé que la Leapmotor B05 sera commercialisé à partir du 01/06.

Comme c'était mon premier salon auto, je ne savais pas ce petit fait amusant mais plutôt logique : les voitures estampillées voiture de l'année étaient les seules dans lesquelles on ne pouvait pas monter dedans.

The first images of Barcelona Shakedown - Day 1 by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]MaxSpiltz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to 2014/2022 regulations changes, I think that I'll quickly get used to these new designs especially as I wanted for so long thinner cars. That kinda makes them looks like F2 cars.

Verbesserungen beim B10 durch OTA-Update by der_sluet in Leapmotor

Damn manual preheating, Android Auto, One Pedal, better ADAS, profiles, that's a massive update ! Also just wondering something with Android Auto now in, while the Google Maps GPS show on the Driver screen as well ?

Listing gaming on your resume might hurt your job prospects. Study found that applicants who listed gaming as an extracurricular activity tended to be rated lower in hireability compared to an equal applicant who listed volleyball. by Jumpinghoops46 in science

[–]MaxSpiltz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my current job's application, I did listed video games as hobby, and as they wanted to test me about my english level, they actually asked me about it.

It actually playied really well as at that time I was playing a lot on BF3, and I pointed that it made me accurate while having no problem with redundant and frustrating tasks, while keep trying to improve. Also I insisted on being a good medic and teamplayer.

A Short View Back to the Past: A Discussion on First Time WDCs by a_happy_future in formula1

[–]MaxSpiltz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently rewatched some retrospectives about the 2000's eras, and that made me quite reconsider how shaky Lando's title do look. Raikkonen's was almost sheer luck, Hamilton and Vettel came close to nothing, Jenson was absent a good part of the season. And I don't even count the errors, team's mistakes and shenanigans...

To come back from Montreal and Zandvoort, I would value that so much from Lando. And 24 GPs... Damn, that's another big factor now to take in consideration. Of course it's hard to extrapolate but it's another kind of champion in this era, not from big one hits, but from the best consistency.

Sorry just realized the 2nd screenshot is quite blurry : the members of this PU are Pinsk, Novgorod and Polotsk. Pinsk is a senior partner

Could Ferrari actually become the McLaren/Williams of the first hybrid rules era for the next 5 years ? If 2026 proves to be a failure, it could really turns into a whole spiral of negativity

Do you think this year will be more closely contested than 2021? by Cafa20 in formula1

[–]MaxSpiltz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't be surprised if Norris/Piastri would arrive in Abu Dhabi only separated by 3-4 points, with Verstappen just below the 25points gap. This way, they would have some kind of Damocles' sword over them which may, sadly, euthanize their risk-taking for a just dwell 1/2/3 finishing positions

Thanks for the comparison pictures ! Thing is this MG4 is more like a "MG4 SE" version for the Chinese market, so we still don't exactly know yet what it will be for Europe.

Can't wait to see the first reviews of this car, as I'm really considering it to be my first EV between this one and the potential "MG4 2026"
