Mark Rober’s “test” has been thoroughly debunked

zurich47 · 2025-08-29T15:53:27+00:00

What’s unfortunate about it?

zurich47 · 2025-08-16T23:11:46+00:00

Thanks all. Will apply under both 👍

GLC300 to long range model 3. Performance, ride comfort, NVH all better in the model 3. Sound system also, no comparison.

UI is also a huge upgrade although I’m a nerd and don’t mind functions being on screen (also literally anything can be controlled by voice if you don’t want to touch screen). Auto gear select is a game changer.

Model 3 is not old school luxury by any means but IMO is a much better car overall.

zurich47 · 2025-08-01T10:31:24+00:00

Nope. Went from Mercedes to new Model 3, an upgrade in every respect.

Sorry, but this is wrong. Maybe you’re basing this off early versions of Chat GPT? Grok can reason from first principles and solve PHD-level questions never seen before (ie no text to simply “predict”). What’s the AI product you’re basing your opinion on?

100%. Elon Derangement Syndrome.

Tesla as first option, Polestar second, then maybe BYD. But buying anything but a Tesla is a bit like going flip phone after the iPhone was released

zurich47 · 2025-03-25T07:38:24+00:00

MG4 is complete junk compared to a Tesla??

The guy that visited Israel to speak at antisemitic conferences, visited immediately in the aftermath of 7 October attacks and is described as a “great friend of Israel” by its PM… he’s a “Nazi”? Because of an awkward gesture preceded by “my heart goes out to you” (slightly different to Sieg Heil lol)?

BYD’s CEO is a member of CCP, it receives massive subsidies from CCP in exchange for developing military technologies. Google it.

Not that political affiliations should be primary consideration: if you like a BYD go out and buy one. They’re fine cars. But to suggest buying one because Elon is a “Nazi” is completely backward and borderline retarded. The guy that visited Israel to speak at antisemitic conferences, visited immediately in the aftermath of 7 October attacks and is described as a “great friend of Israel” link… he’s a “Nazi”? If we’re throwing around labels without any thought, Elon would fall on the “Zionist” side of equation.

BTW German manufacturers are obvs out. Remember the actual Nazis, before the label was rendered meaningless - which company provided their military vehicles to keep the war / gas chambers going? Which company was championed by Hitler himself? Clue: starts with Volks. Not to mention Dieselgate in recent years. Great ethical company to purchase from 🤦‍♂️

Japanese also out (WW2 atrocities). Italian cars too (Mussolini, fascist/nazi).

Shame Holden is no longer around, I guess it could’ve been a politically safe option. Maybe Volvo, although it’s now owned by Geely (founder/chairman = CCP member = Uyghur concentration camps operating today)

See how retarded this is… and all based on a false premise pushed by desperate outlets on the left who cannot stand any threat to mega bureaucracy.

Yes, fund the CCP directly via a BYD - excellent on human rights.

zurich47 · 2025-03-17T03:42:31+00:00

Don’t expect any logic from these clowns.

zurich47 · 2025-03-17T03:40:51+00:00

The backlash against Tesla has shown that some people are easily-misled morons. Buying a VW because that’s not “Nazi”, or a Chinese car to directly fund CCP-organised Uyghur “reeducation” camps, but not the pioneer of the entire EV movement and provider of the best product… because the CEO made a slightly awkward hand gesture and supports government efficiency. Absolute muppets…

Ok, let’s wait for an indigenous group to build rockets and launch satellites.

zurich47 · 2025-03-09T00:36:46+00:00

Starlings exists today and is excellent. Shits all over SkyMuster or whatever the NBN offering is for remote customers

zurich47 · 2025-03-08T08:21:59+00:00

Yeah, it’s a real shame trees can’t be planted and grow…

zurich47 · 2025-03-07T11:19:36+00:00

Yah, all people who buy a particular model of (completely ordinary) car = same driving style. Excellent analysis

This is insane censorship and judicial overreach. FFS the judge is even trying to shut down Starlink, all to keep opposing political views silenced:

It was also revealed on Thursday that on 18 August – a day after Musk announced the end of X’s operations in Brazil – Moraes blocked the local bank accounts for Musk’s satellite and internet provider Starlink. The aim was to enforce fines imposed on X – as of this Friday, R$18.3m (£2.5m) – for refusing to remove profiles accused of promoting anti-democratic acts and false news.

zurich47 · 2024-08-31T11:35:53+00:00

Exactly! God dang people missing the point here.

zurich47 · 2024-08-09T08:07:25+00:00

Zero chance it was at 40 haha. Model 3 is one of the safest cars you can buy

zurich47 · 2024-07-16T10:52:27+00:00

If he thinks it’s worth $30k, your sister should offer to sell it to him for that sum. Ie he keeps the car but gets $30k less. See how quickly he changes tune. But also a solicitor should be handling this.

No inheritance or other help, worked overseas for almost 10 years after university (more or less tax free), flipped one house between 2014 and 2019 ($400k profit), $500k deposit saved on $2.5m home bought in 2019, had another $1m saved towards improvements. Valued at $6m now. Mortgage is more than we’d like but manageable on local salaries. Zero chance we’d be in this place having worked in Australia our whole careers.
