Well we've come a long way from Covid and chip shortages and now there's plenty of new EVs in the showrooms and cheap used ones for sale but this bloke has tried them and he's come to the same conclusion as I have as a private buyer-

He likes his cars and can certainly afford whatever he likes but he's really nailed the state of play with battery cars for now. Up to you whether you take his advice or not but I'm sticking with hybrid replacements now and that spells Toyota for mine.

 How do think I feel, although I didn’t go to a grammar school,  I am burdened with the knowledge that from both my maternal and paternal sides of the family we are descendant of 1st fleet convicts. I guess that makes me an invader.

Just got this from a mate.

Reckon a few here may be able to tick quite a number of these boxes off!



I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person,  but I was born white into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me privileged, racist, and responsible for slavery.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative which, by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget, and support myself.

I went to Grammar School and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged."

I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks makes me homophobic.

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

I am older than 70, making me a useless dinosaur who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat.

I think, reason, and doubt most of what the ‘mainstream’ media tells me, making me a Right-wing conspiracy nut.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, making me a xenophobe.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair reward according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort, not freedom of outcome or subsidies, which must make me a borderline sociopath.

I believe in the defense and protection of my nation for and by all citizens, making me a militant.

I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand during our National Anthem - so I must be a radical.

Funny - it all took place over the last decade! If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which toilet to use...  and these days I gotta go more frequently!


 ;D

Now I know what's wrong with me, there's only 1 point that doesn't fit me.

Appears to be a slight issue with your right headlight as well! :o

popped out on the road back into town. Apparently due to water pressure from *inside* the engine bay. Hitting deep water crossings a little too fast (or a LOT too fast f you listen to Kyria)

Once I'd cleaned all the mud off, and removed the ductape... it clipped back in easy enough.

California and EV Heaven- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MXzxHc0dWo

They have more chargers but then they also have lots more EVs clogging them up and that will always be the problem as there's no real economic case for most public chargers. (Tesla already worked that out). So that only really leaves city slickers with offstreet parking and charging and no doubt why there's now over 550 used Model3 Teslas predominantly by private sellers on Carsales (2019s from $37000 asking price and dropping)  :'(

Depreciation is killing EVs to boot so it's a 10 month estimated order wait for the missus new Corolla Cross hybrid shopping trolley but I'm not holding my breath if that blows out as her petrol Kia is only 3 yrs old and isn't going anywhere. Bowen and Co are smoking something they shouldn't.

So it's the same in Europe as it is in the US right now as word gets around- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuz3UQpiqQE
