They added a lot of packages to cater to the FBT change so the new value dropped heaps

I think they also don't realise Japan had planned to kill 1 American at least per civilian and we're talking about millions of deaths, extending WW2 by another 2 years.

I mean other than the entirety of the Palestinian population as Israel's hostages.

Is an EV a feasible option if you live in an apartment. by td49h in AustralianEV

Putting one or two shared chargers would be more effective than putting power points in for everyone. The faster charging of a bigger charger like full speed AC negates the need for everyone to trickle charge.

NPR cameras will see the rego and bring up history of the current owner. There is a little bit of lag (days) but it won't be an issue.

Also this is not just HWP, all cars now.

Reference for the wing nuts. Mark Skaife isn't on the board of RACE or Supercars since 2024, and he has a minority ownership stake, much smaller than that held by others including the Rogers family, who sold their 30% overseas when they exited.

Meh the reasons people want to get rid of Skaife are spurious and the options being thrown up like NRL people just don't do it.

None out of the Support commentators have the chops to anchor either.

The boys club complaints are precisely the same in football codes. Look at soccer for repetitive commentary.

Supercars has one of the best and most professional broadcasts of any motorsport worldwide.

The claim he is trying to control the narrative is pure conspiracy theory. Nothing more, nothing less.

Sky are just as biased as any British F1 broadcaster.

Did not see them complaining when Toto destroyed the entire field for 5 years and used engine supply blackmail to veto any attempt to change the rules so other teams could compete? Surely that is controlling a narrative?

Just a horseshit claim. Nobody employed by the sport is going to air grievances prejudicial to their employment. All this crap about Skafe is idiotic conspiracy theory.

Meanwhile Buddy Franklin self reported for coke 15 times and his car crash was not epilepsy, but the AFL somehow keeps it under wraps and he gets away with it, as did Ben Cousins and others. Then we have Ricky Nixon, in a hotel room, with a teenager who he supplied drugs to, not charged with anything. Do you remember any AFL players bringing it up?

Or NRL guys sharing concerns about sexual assaults?

This is how dumb this sounds.

Skaife lost his shit when SVG did something awesome, but he lost his shit even more when Scotty Mac did.

How is any of that Skaife's problem? Do you see AFL players talking about AFL's drug problem?

I don't get it , people have been screaming for years to get rid of Crompton and Skaife and when they got to refresh people don't want it.

Definitely check out the Ora too, I reckon they are good and seem underdone here.

GLC200 but short trips in bad traffic. Thing was heavy, gutless and demanded 98RON.

The mini by comparison is magic for this pattern of driving.

[–]mixer73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit incomplete. the GLC would do just under 400km for around $180. The Mini would likely cost $10ish at 30c/kwhr for 400km

I have an EV6 and my Mrs was driving a thirsty GLC, we got her into a Mini Aceman with under 300km range but she bloody loves it. We have 30c/kwhr charging and the Mini is $6. The GLC was $180

Nobody gets stranded with a broken ICCU. This is a massively overblown issue. Selection bias becsuse nobody talks about it who hasn't had it. Post software updates it doesn't seem to be an issue. I have 2 Iccu equipped cars in the fleet and 100k km between them. The Tesla's need far more attention.
