@Kruse as a motorcyclist I always try to keep in mind what disparity exists between what I'm riding and what they're driving.
Overtaking a proper performance car on my adv bike is a dumb idea if they want to get a move on too.
Good big vehicle beats good little vehicle.
Actually... one thing I learned after watching all the Fast&Furious nonsense... apparently it's nothing to do with the vehicle, but all about the driver.
Dominic Turetto said so.He's 'an elite street racer and auto mechanic'.

That is a genuine game changer.

I'm assuming the girl in the boot is a costly extra.
These batteries are better for short-range cars but the next few years are going to be awesome for EVs. Maybe not so much for Toyota Honda Subaru (and Mazda?) who are making the jump very very late.

I have just got a BYD Atto 3, loving it.
Not so sure about having 'Build Your Dreams' across the back 😂
They could charge another $500 to remove that badge and people would pay it.

You have to pay 750 for any colour but white. I could remove it, they're just glued on, but I'm not that bothered

Rented one of those today ("Mevo") - for a quick blast across the Rimutakas and back, in rain, first time I've driven 4-wheels in a LOOOONG time.
Cars have plenty of fucking shit going on in them nowadays, don't they? Or is that just these 'lectric ones? Bloody big tablet in the middle, which I did NOT expect to turn landscape-to-portrait - even if that's what the button quite clearly showed it would do.
The Adaptive-Cruise-Control was quite nice... I did a BIG chunk of the trip with that turned on, and just letting the car in front dictate the pace. -

@Kruse Yeah electric cars, even base ones, are starting to get a lot of tech. Because you pay more than the equiv petrol, they often have a high base model spec
Basically take the top spec model and add $15-20k to it for the drivetrain. Gets all the toys
