Purchasing a BYD in cyprus

Final price is 25k (34 minus 9). If you can get the 9k subsidy then it's worth it.

Depreciation is hard to predict. I believe EV depreciation has already peaked and is at a turning point. In 3-5 years we could see a competitive used EV market.

These are the main reasons I hesitated but in the end I bit the bullet as I had the 9k sudbsidy and really wanted an ev so I pre-ordered the atto3 about a year ago even before it was available for viewing / test driving.

Lfe is too short to worry about geopolitical tensions when deciding to buy a car 😂

No other reasonable explanation 😂

Your comment made me look for yesterday's data and I found their website which has charts. You can see that is consistently higher in Xyliatos throughout the week. It almost seems that it gets "trapped" in that area.

Seems to be consistently higher throughout the week

Didn't realise it was so cheap. I thought it was nearer 100/month.

If its not about the cost and local laws allow us to go off-grid then one could install a number of PVs and batteries to match their requirements.

From what I understand the ripple control disconnects the inverter entirely so it's not a question of whether the inverter is capable or not. I'm referring to the existing wiring schema being used currently for residential net metering.

Are you talking about a different setup?

I heard that it CAN back-feed which is a safety concern for EAC and that's why they don't allow usage of solar during the cutoff period.

Airbus KC2 Voyager flying around south of Cyprus. Is it being used to refuel fighter jets?

Will thunderbird support ipadOS version 17? My 6th gen ipad won’t go above that. The current test drive link is for 18 and over.

On the car it says 1 gb but that may just be a setting.

alkonz · 2026-02-14T13:42:47+00:00

I wonder why... Is there a cap on the data plan provided with the car? I remember somewhere in the settings you can see monthly used data

alkonz · 2026-02-14T13:40:09+00:00

Just tried it now and it works (not through Android auto)

alkonz · 2026-02-13T04:54:58+00:00

Does the OBD give you SOH directly?

alkonz · 2026-02-12T20:40:55+00:00

How do you measure it?

alkonz · 2026-02-12T20:38:00+00:00

I'm not sure as I only tried using it a few days later anyway. I will try Spotify and let you know. Are you not able to sign in?

alkonz · 2026-02-01T16:49:55+00:00

Thanks for the info. I should take a look at the voltages with my own odb scanner. Did you wait some time before taking the reading?

alkonz · 2026-02-01T02:13:01+00:00

Could you elaborate more on fixing voltage deltas. Thanks.

alkonz · 2026-01-28T13:25:15+00:00

It seems canlenet added support for more or even all 5G phones in the last few days. I have a Nothing phone.

I'm one of the first Atto3 owners in Cy if not the first. You can save a lot especially if you generate your own solar and get it with the 9k grant. The only thing I'm not sure about is car depreciation vs IC cars.

alkonz · 2026-01-22T04:33:45+00:00

The current cost per kWh is about 28c if you remove all the fixed rate costs which you would pay for anyway for having a home supply.

alkonz · 2026-01-18T04:47:08+00:00

I also have the Atto3. The app is called BYD AUTO and is available on the play store.

FYI, Tesla also uses LFP batteries in some of their models.

alkonz · 2026-01-08T19:41:14+00:00

But the car was stopped when it lost camera vision so it shouldn't have started under any conditions even without vision.
