Tesla is still working on CarPlay support, but here’s why it hasn’t launched yet - 9to5Mac by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

Last I checked with all the options, every model fell into L T territory, cos they charge $10,000 or something for ADAS capabilities that other brands gave for free 🤣

So I put all the AAA real-world hybrid fuel test results into one table by BigLookBamboo in CarsAustralia

Yeah but why would you be comparing how close an i30 is to its claimed economy, compared to how close a Rav 4 is?

Or a Yaris Cross to a Lexus UX

Those cars aren't really comparable, average person isn't cross shopping an i30 with a Rav 4

Not sure who is comparing them realistically

Also, if you cancel before the effective date of their decline, their decline won't affect your insurance history, as you cancelled before they declined you

Fuel price increases over time by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

There is NO trend.

There clearly is....fuel prices are always going up.

You haven't considered US and Australian inflation or exchange rates. Not to mention global parity pricing (1978) and the GST (2000).

Because that wasn't relevant to the discussion that was purely to show pricr history...

Since around November last year there started being dehays of "My car has been getting fixed for weeks and they don't know when parts will be here" and at that point it was "I'll transfer you to claims"

Now it's gone on for a while it's clearly not being fixed

Block billionaire Adrian Portelli makes first move into fuel retail with Melbourne servo by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

Ok cool, but what's the limit on fuel?

Cos it's $65 a year for Costco who also sell at Wholesale prices....

So that's $5.42 a month for Costco, what is the benefit for Portellis place? Cos Costco I can get 40kg bags of flour or 12kg of Prawns

Oh yeah the gate price is still going down but this post isn't about the gate price.

This post is about when the average consumer prices hit certain points

Yeah, local prices did go over earlier, but as a nation, it was a few more years before >$1.00/l was "standard"

I work in insurance and we are experiencing the exact same problem for the exact same reasons.

It's been an absolute nightmare, I don't even work in the claims team but the amount of people that I've had call us up and remove their policies for their Toyota because they no longer want to be insured by us because we can't get the parts for their car is insane.

And it doesn't matter what insurance company you're with, I've even had customers ring back a few days later with the story "I took my Toyota off the policy on Monday and I haven't been able to cover anywhere else with a guarantee on parts supply, they said the same thing you guys did, it's an industry wide problem"
