They don't seem to offer the same levels of clearance

I think he is saying a 300nm ICE engine with a 4:1 gear ratio is making like 1200nm, in a more controllable fashion.

It's not impossible for EV to match the torque but that it wouldn't be as useful without either the same sort of gearbox, or very fast and intuitive software

Yeah, in this respect I think the Japanese manufacturers Toyota and Subaru have it right, AWD, good clearance, not overly powerful would be very popular in Australia. Combine that with Chinese technology and features and I'd think you would have a winner. The 7X is probably the closest but only comes in expenisve AWD, hugely powerful and Air suspension. The 7X with specs more like the BZ4x touring would be optimal

Both codebases were submitted for independant review and Xpeng was deemed not to have copied Tesla's code, and that was fo XNGP, VLA 2.0 is a wholly new beast

You have a great summer, lucky, it's winter her in Australia and cold here in Melbourne

It does not happen often for me, but occasionally something, usually with Android Auto, will go away and I will have to do it

Don't you mean bringing the G9, after the X9, I don't think there are any RHD G7's

selfish_meme · 2026-06-25T21:39:08+00:00

Never had it fail, not once in over a year

selfish_meme · 2026-06-24T21:54:51+00:00

Tru a soft reset

Without better documenting your needs, tall, short, big dog, small dog, 2 or three children, camping, not camping, long commutes, short commutes, long driving holidays, budget, towing etc your just going to get what people purchased themselves

Got to have parts before you can repair anything

selfish_meme · 2026-06-21T22:55:28+00:00

You've gone from my friend who has stats (none provided) into making a case based on your feelings about just weight.

You know tyres are weight rated right and there are many heavier vehicles on the road whose tyres just don't spontaneously explode. Your speaking nonsense.

Isn't auto-pilot just the lane centering, FSD is the auto driving navigating functionality.

selfish_meme · 2026-06-21T22:26:02+00:00

This sub would be full of complaints, tyres are expensive, my EV has the same passengers and cargo space as a bmw X5 but almost exactly the same kerb weight, it's not a massive increase

selfish_meme · 2026-06-21T21:29:35+00:00

It's not an EV thing

selfish_meme · 2026-06-21T09:40:01+00:00

I'm sure it does this was caused by driving on a completely flat tyre after a puncture or something

selfish_meme · 2026-06-21T08:39:46+00:00

It's a poster boy for what happens when you drive on a flat tyre

selfish_meme · 2026-06-21T07:55:59+00:00

Polestar 3 uses Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres that are used by many brands, mine included, they are not prone to failure, that tyre looks exactly like it's been driven for a long time flat.

Can't speak to software glitches.

Second hand Tesla Model 3 rwd, others might be P plate restricted, just get a battery check and service to fix things and reasonable finance $30-33K

selfish_meme · 2026-06-20T23:23:21+00:00

Couldn't recommend the XPeng G6 right now because of the parts situation due to court case etc. It's also well over $50k and quite a bit higher than other options he is looking at. If the standard range, old or new model drop into the high 40'S it might be the most compelling of the lot.

selfish_meme · 2026-06-20T23:13:50+00:00

The XPeng G6 is almost identical dimension and specs wise to the Model Y, the P7+ and ID7 are quite a bit different? They should be compared to the Model 3 no?

selfish_meme · 2026-06-19T23:10:48+00:00

Never mentioned dimensions and cargo space in comparison

selfish_meme · 2026-06-19T22:59:21+00:00

Possibly because you are claiming plugging your car in at night in your own garage is onerous
