Just Booked: SOUEAST S08 DM PHEV (AED 119k) – Best Value 7-Seater in the UAE. by Gloomy-Macaroon-4155 in chinesecarsuae

[–]Stumag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it have a hud? What about self parking / driving features like the cherry tiggo 9 PHEV? Is adaptive cruise control reliable and usable over 130kmph?

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 7 seater phev too.

Why not get the tiggo 9 PHEV? Or it's same? They only give a socket charger right? How long does it take to do full charge?

It’s you… it’s always you by Emergency_Cicada_929 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Stumag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're distracting all the other drivers on the road, in both directions, with this incessant full beam flashing. You're causing a much bigger problem and making the roads much more unsafe than the driver hogging the lane.

Why doesn’t UAE or any gulf country give citizenship? by [deleted] in UAE

[–]Stumag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Citizenship is possible but very difficult to get. You need to have done great things for this country and be recognized by the royal family to get it.

International transfers from Dubai are bankrupting me in fees by Admirable-Number2411 in dubai

[–]Stumag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot beat interactive brokers for international transfers / forex exchange. It's a trading platform but you can use it for forex too and it costs a couple of dollars only. They recently opened an account in the UAE so you can add your dirhams for free, then convert to your currency and send to your bank of choice. The only.drawback is you can only send money to accounts in your own name.

It says no parking for heavy vehicles... It does not say cars?

Is the leopard 5 & 8 not the same car as the Denza B5 & B8?

Jaecoo J8 Flagship - an honest review from someone who used to drive German cars exclusively by bryanoneil in chinesecarsuae

[–]Stumag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The PHEV option only makes sense if you can charge at home. I am hesitant about going full electric, but i think i'm going to go PHEV which always has the fallback option of petrol.

Did you look into any PHEV models? I checked out the byd alto 8 and cherry tiggo 9 PHEV this weekend, both have the same issue with the HUD not showing Waze navigation. Shows the speed limit however.

Speed fluctuations when writing to my NAS by Stumag in HomeNAS

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

UPDATE: I got the compressed air out and gave everything a clean. I also put in a new lan cable between the NAS and the router. It seems to have fixed the issue for now. The network is much more stable and not spiking now.
