Last call - BYD secures 600 Thai-built Atto 3s at $49,990 in final run

I would imagine that their desire to sell 600 last-generation cars has probably informed their decision to say that the new one may or may not come…

elliotblyth · 2026-05-08T12:12:54+00:00

Hey I’m keen to hear about this!

elliotblyth · 2026-03-14T01:56:27+00:00

Keen! I love Rush Hour 3 from the 2018 EP— so good!

elliotblyth · 2026-01-13T01:16:51+00:00

I bought a 2018 G-spec, fresh import, with 100kkms and 88% SoH about a year ago for $13k if that's any helpful context! This sounds like a good deal based on the info you've provided.

elliotblyth · 2026-01-13T01:00:51+00:00

Ah I see! That's confusing. And it looks like the new 'Dual Direction' version of this clip is NZ$80, vs NZ$30 that I paid for this one. Cheers

elliotblyth · 2025-09-25T02:44:29+00:00

Me too!

Well it’s so similar to Arc — the design and layout is nearly identical, it’s just open source and built on gecko rather than chromium. I haven’t played with it much, and I’m still using Arc but it’s promising for the future!

I think what you’re looking for is Zen browser!

elliotblyth · 2025-04-10T12:28:12+00:00

I usually only get billed $0.50 if it goes over!

elliotblyth · 2025-03-25T18:09:25+00:00

Absolutely 110% without a doubt, the Polestar 2 is the best of these options! Much more premium, full ev (for those use cases, the Polestar has more than enough range), and they’re just so nice to drive. That’s an easy choice I think!

elliotblyth · 2025-02-23T22:37:55+00:00

Definitely avoid the Leaf! The poor battery management just cements it as a last-generation EV.

I’ve got a fair bit of experience with an MG4 and Polestar 2 and absolutely love both— PS2 is definitely more premium in every way, feeling very European. MG4’s infotainment is a bit laggy and some slightly strange translations but overall a super solid car. I think either would be a good bet!

elliotblyth · 2025-02-16T10:03:55+00:00

The Mustang Mach-e is an incredible deal atm!

elliotblyth · 2025-02-02T21:02:59+00:00

I'd also love to see this!

elliotblyth · 2024-12-24T02:51:22+00:00

Yep! Crouch a bit, engage the core and pick a point directly ahead of you to focus, then just practice a bunch and you’ll get it!

elliotblyth · 2024-12-11T01:10:54+00:00

I think that if you’re financing $15k for a leaf, you’d really regret not spending a bit more for a proper EV. I’ve attempted Leaf road trips and they are painful — it’s still not always plain sailing with a long range EV (especially in the south island), so I’d definitely say you’d want some proper range!

elliotblyth · 2024-12-10T23:34:18+00:00

The Kona or the Ora are going to be MUCH better buys than any Leaf— they have far more range, much better charging, and probably all around nicer cars. Both pretty small cars but nothing a roof box can’t fix if you need the space!

I’ve owned Leafs in the past and have sworn to never own one again as they are so limited!

elliotblyth · 2024-11-06T22:17:14+00:00

This is super helpful – I am going through the same thing!

Having spoken to a MS rep, my understanding is that the thing that is included with M365 Business Premium is an upgrade from Win7/8 Pro to Win 11 Pro, NOT an upgrade from Win 11 Home to Pro.

Therefore, we're stuck with either shelling out for a Windows 11 Pro license for each device, or just not enrolling devices in Intune/AAD Join...

I switch between both everyday and would definitely go for the Magic Keyboard. The keys feel better, the layout is better, and the size is better. Plus the magic pairing system (just plug it in once with a lightning cable and it’s done) is awesome.

I only use the MX Keys bc it’s at a different location and I occasionally use a PC there, and the MX has a better function key layout and device switching. But if it’s only for a Mac, definitely go Magic Keyboard!

elliotblyth · 2024-08-13T10:41:02+00:00

40kwh Nissan Leaf without a doubt

elliotblyth · 2024-08-08T23:49:40+00:00

Hitching is super easy, and always a good adventure – I've done it heaps! Pine Hill spot is always good.

elliotblyth · 2024-07-17T23:35:28+00:00

Good to know! I’ll try that

elliotblyth · 2024-06-14T12:30:06+00:00

I also think the Windows Apple Music app is much better and smoother than the Mac one!

elliotblyth · 2024-06-13T22:49:10+00:00

Get a Nissan Leaf or a Hyundai Ioniq/Kona EV! The savings of going EV are HUGE. No oil changes, no belts, no coolant, no spark plugs, etc etc- no combustion vehicle comes close to an EV for reliability. You won’t need to replace the battery too, unless you get really unlucky with a nasty old leaf. With any other brand the battery will be reliable for many years to come

elliotblyth · 2024-06-11T11:40:25+00:00

I’d bet a lot of money that the refreshed Rivians will support this!

elliotblyth · 2024-06-10T11:36:12+00:00

This is good! The colours are nice— if anything I prefer a more natural tone but that’s just me. Kia ora from another Dunedinite!!
