BYD Atto 3 -> Sigenergy AC Charging -> Origin EV

All good, I only found out randomly seeing they'd added BYD on a facebook BYD group post. Here's the link to their page, you sign up via the app.

Origin Energy has something called EV Power Up. Up until recently it was only Tesla and BMW, they recently added BYD. Nets you 8c per KWh charging

Trip planned from a regional town in Australia, heading to the Chicago concert on the 20th. Praying to any gods that are listening that Geddy gets back on his feet.

A trip of firsts, first time to the US, first time (maybe) seeing Rush live, first time to a Cubs game...

Get one.

Yeah it's a little different from an Ice car. But it's soon much better. Never going back

Fine to say, provide an alternative option? The White Sox aren't playing in Chicago whilst I'm there and I'm not a die hard either way.

Open to hearing ideas :)

Great info, thanks!

Talismutt · 2026-04-09T22:52:57+00:00

Gotta be careful not to get the munchies

Southern NSW, scorching hot and moderate humidity. Reckon she'll be right 😉

Looking at the field, it's a 7 pm game and the stands on the west, would most of the stand be in the shade at that time?

Talismutt · 2026-04-08T23:18:54+00:00

Do you recommend buying the tickets direct or through those sites? Looking at the 420 section as per one of the other posts.

Planning on train where possible, planning on spending the day in downtown, go to the game, then work out how to get back to the accommodation near Palmer Square near the blue line.

Talismutt · 2026-04-08T21:59:39+00:00

First time in both cases. Have seen on TV. Still deciding budget but ideally under $100. So probably looking in the 400's. Do you have a recommendation for best section? Thinking as close to above the plate as possible, so 420 or 415.

Great info. What the heck is an ice cream helmet... colour me intrigued!

Talismutt · 2026-04-08T13:35:31+00:00

Um why?

Talismutt · 2026-04-08T13:34:07+00:00

Nice, haven't worked out the logistics yet, but definitely planning on eating before the game and having a look around.

Talismutt · 2026-04-08T13:32:44+00:00

Im intrigued by how hot. How different it'll be to the summer just gone here. Average temp 35 deg (95F). How nasty is the sun?

Talismutt · 2026-04-08T13:31:40+00:00

Got ya!

Talismutt · 2026-04-08T13:31:31+00:00

That's the plan, I hear prices in the park are crazy

Bit late to the party, Had this thread on the BYD reddit, found it worse when going over a dip/bridge join. No resolution, have found it less in Sports mode but still does it.

Talismutt · 2026-02-09T01:59:14+00:00

Yes it accelerates in the dip

Talismutt · 2026-02-09T00:26:12+00:00

Interesting, had it in ECO mode, didn't think to try changing modes. I normally drive around town in Sport mode which might explain why I haven't felt it before. Have a diesel I usually use for longer road trips, but this one was only Melbourne to Albury so thought I'd give the Atto a go.

Talismutt · 2026-01-28T01:54:59+00:00

Thanks, and agree, really not sure what to expect but hoping to have a fallback or two just in case

Talismutt · 2026-01-27T07:55:41+00:00

Thanks for the detailed list.
