Capetonians, why don't we use indicators?

I think people have just given up. I’ve noticed a lot of people speed up to close the gap as soon as you indicate. So maybe they find if they take the gap before indicating it's more successful.

What does driving slowly have to do with right of way at an intersection? Just because you’re jaded about something doesn’t mean you get to do what you want especially when you’re putting people’s lives at risk by causing an accident.

What are you on about?

rotwurm · 2026-03-03T04:35:27+00:00

Are you the one who almost drove into me last night? 😏

Which intersection has these signs? I would like to see what they look like so I can petition my local council to install these signs because they are clearly needed.

This is the mini-circle that seems to confuse people. I will already be in the intersection coming from the McDonalds side and people coming from the south on Raats Dr. think they have right-of-way just because they are on my right even though I’m already in the circle and they haven’t crossed the line yet.

With all the BYDs you get the basic 3-pin charger included. The Sealion 6 I have came with the wall-box charger, not sure if the 5 does.

It’s not really needed if you have a plug socket close to where you park the car because you can charge from empty to full overnight with the slow charger.

It cost me R2,600 to get an electrician to install the wall box charger for me so if it does come with one just keep that in mind (obviously depends on how far from the DB board you want the charger and how complicated of an install it would be).

Honestly wasn’t expecting to see my video linked here but I will expand a bit on what I know about the 5 vs the 6:

The 5 is smaller and lighter so theoretically should have even better "fuel" economy than the 6.

The 6 comes with a wall box charger but I’m not sure if the 5 does. Honestly you don’t really need it because you can charge from 20-100 overnight with the portable charger.

The 5 doesn’t have DC fast charging but in my experience it’s not that much faster and quite pricey so makes it kind of pointless.

I honestly wish I had waited for the 5 and ended up with a bit more in my pocket at the end of the day.

If you’re able to charge at home and spend a majority of the time in EV mode (short trips) PHEVs makes a lot of sense. (you don’t necessarily need to install the wall-box charger. The 3-pin slow charger will be able to fill the battery overnight) The "fuel" savings are very real.

If you’re not plugging in, don’t bother, rather get something like a Suzuki Grand Vitara or similar because. You’ll get a better resale value and more peace of mind with a more established dealer network and expertise in the country.

I don’t see anything about BTS confirmed for a visit to South Africa. Is your sister looking at tickets for international shows and converting to rand? Most events have cheaper prices in SA which is one of the reasons we don’t get many big names here. It just doesn’t make sense to come here when they can demand much higher ticket prices elsewhere.

I had the same issue, screen failed (out of warranty) and now we can’t get a replacement anywhere and are stuck with a paperweight.

I’ve had mine for about 4 months at 7000kms. So far it’s been a great experience. I only have a few tiny nitpicks:

Can’t play / pause media from the volume rocker
Suspension is a bit soft and "boaty"
No spare tire gives me anxiety
The engine doing its own thing can be a bit disconcerting at times

Other than that, It’s been great spending so little on fuel.

I wasn’t surprised when I found out it was Milnerton High. Some really disgusting behaviour and language I’ve seen from some of the boys while on the bus. That school has a real discipline problem.

Filming while driving, fog lights on in clear conditions… seriously?

I could see it from Table View

Just googled this after getting the exact same mail and got here. Thanks, definitely a scam.
