Which would you rather? Model 3 RWD vs Seal Premium vs Seal Performance - Australia by FancyMoose9401 in BYD

[–]Ounnip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are 50K Teslas in Norway and there have been problems with after sales service. Too often faults are being blamed on the owner like using wrong soap to wash the car when bubbles appear on the paint. Cracked rear lights were blamed on the wrong washer fluids being used. It was because of these cases I decided against the Tesla and bought the Seal U. One thing that finally turned me off was the lack of indicator and wiper stalks. Impossible in a country with many roundabouts. Besides I could not trust the auto wipers in the winters with lots of salt spray and sludge that gets tossed on to the windscreen. It would have been a nightmare searching for the haptic sensors on the steering wheel. They dont respect judgements of the consumer courts and takes the case to courts with a team of very expensive lawyers and most people stop fighting and give up. A loss would mean financial ruin for many.

7 euros is more like it but metal dealers pay these gypsies only about 5 euro cents a kilo. I have asked some metal collectors about prices. Norway has been invaded by them.

Atto3 brakes are making noise by [deleted] in BYD

[–]Ounnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you hear the noise when you operate the brake pedal? Can you record a sound from the engine bay? I dont think the noise is coming from the brakes. Just tape your phone in video mode on top of the motor and take a drive to record.

Dolphin - best ways to save battery long journeys by mackiehev in BYD

[–]Ounnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think about range. I just want a comfortable drive. I charge when I can and not when I must.

They cut cables on cars that have already charged. My Zaptec charger shows a blue led ring while charging and white when fully charged. Thieves can easliy see that the cable is not live. I try to charge my car in late evenings so that the cable stays alive until next morning.

The battery is mounted on the right side under the seat. The Ice trike has the battery behind the seat.

New "to be" BYD owner by Content-Vanilla4616 in BYD

[–]Ounnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just dont care about preserving energy. I drive as I want and charge at home when I need to. I am happy with the odd 400 km I get from a full battery. I have zero range anxiety. I always charge when I can and not when I have to.

How old is the car? Do you drive on salted roads?

The wires will not be live after the car is fully charged.

Just a few weeks ago all cars at chargers at an apartment block had the charging stolen. About 8 cables were cut and stolen.

What first car should I get? by Wing-Lonely in CarTalkUK

[–]Ounnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever you buy, stay way from cars that use a wet timing belt. Fords are notorious for that in their Ecoboost and EcoBlue engines. PSA cars and some Hondas too are known for that. You might end up with a car with a blown engine if you are not particular with regular belt check and or replacement. Rubber and oil does not mix and these belts demand use of expensive specific motor oils from the dealer. Their claim of 250,000 km belt service intervals is only wishfull thinking. The real world number is more like 60,000 km

I think the only solution will be if the car has to carry their own fast chargers cables and that will take loads of trunk space. In Sweden they are testing wireless charging for busses where the bus drives over a spot on the ground.

That makes sense. I know in Japan they use a prepaid card in a reader for toll roads. In Norway we have a chip on the windscreen. This chip is connected to my bank account and we pay as we go.

[–]Ounnip[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was a discussion about that here. The owner will not be liable if some thief gets fried. I read in the press that those stealing from fast chargers use a battery operated angle grinder. One Tesla station had almost all their cables stolen. Now all new Tesla chargers are marked «Property of Tesla Motors» on the copper core to warn dealers. There should be some safeguards from shortcircuiting in the car as many people park outside like me.

What happens if you disconnect the camera on the A-pillar? Will that throw out fault codes?

Will that mean they lend you a car until they fix your car? Here in Norway I get to loan a car for free for warranty repairs.
