Separate names with a comma.
I quite like the Taycan but isn’t there a question of value for money here? One of them *might* get 300 miles but costs more than twice as much....
Major mistake. There’s no way I’d buy the MIC version - LFP batteries are an inferior solution that simply allows Tesla to get more cars out the...
Yes I’ve had this happen to me more recently. The hands-free is really rubbish at the moment with no audio when it connects. Then the entire sound...
Wow you guys are really fortunate and/or I’m an idiot. I had a bolt in my front right tyre that hissed when I pulled on it with pliers. I took it...
Yes I saw a similar but different transporter on Khyber Pass this afternoon with 4 Model 3s on it. There’s also a new midnight silver performance...
Ouch! No boats arrived?
The lucky folks that bought a Model 3 in 2019 received the Tesla wall charger for free. I heard you no longer get this for free? To be honest you...
Interesting how in the Herald now every article about EVs has become free advertising for the Audi etron. Pretty irritating when it’s one of the...
I don’t disagree but people don’t instantly adapt. I suggest there is a generational/20 year period where people and their communities retrain and...
Yawn already, no one cares about a silly boat of an EV with 4 rings bought by people who want snob-appeal. By your logic here the EQC is the best...
I asked the person in the desk about the lack of drinks in the fridge. Apparently our Kiwi colleagues are letting us down. Tesla have removed the...
What are the access issues at the Auckland supercharger? The code access? The waiting room?
I see this has opened in the Bombay hills area - presumably near that Waitomo or BP service centre? Up to 300kW fast charging although most EVs...
Agreed, a definite pattern of passive aggressive behaviour. I think he probably can’t cope with the fact that his favourite German car makers...
I like the colour but there’s no way this thing is beautiful. Japanese car designers have lost the plot IMO - too much plastic tat and fluff...
It also happens when you get signed out of the Tesla app - unknowingly. Has happened to me twice.
To be honest that one is no longer so bad - I think it was the plastic part of the passenger seat belt vibrating against the passenger B pillar. I...
It’s about differentiation and snob appeal. Tesla has dominated the Norwegian market for so long that some folks want a different looking EV. A...
The best I ever got was 380km. On average I get around 320-350km but with chillier temperatures and more heater use in winter I’m currently seeing...
Lol I’m guessing that 17 Audi dealers bought etrons but no one wanted any since that time. A great example of emperor’s new clothes - an inferior...
Yeah I didn’t rate it much. They went into far more useful detail when they reviewed the I-Pace whereas they treated the Model 3 like a quaint...
I don’t use Auto - better to just keep the aircon at around 18C with fan speed of at least 4. I like a cold car though. Other options are “leave...
72 I believe.
Personally I wouldn’t. I was parked next to an etron recently and it’s a big silly boat of a thing. Etron is a dead-end platform and Audi recently...
Don’t overthink the battery/range thing. Coming from a 24kWh Leaf I can assure you that we now own one of the most efficient and fun cars on the...
And that joke of a vehicle is why Toyota has become a stagnant brand - silly design decisions, bland performance and a weird fixation on hydrogen....
I drive both - Ioniq at work (and Kona) and own a Model 3 SR+ as my daily driver. I came from a 24kWh Leaf. The Ioniq is solid but placid. Model...
I’m loving my 3 and have done 9,000kms in 6 months, which is a lot for me. The problem is that I’ve driven a few bumpy and unsealed surfaces...
For a second I kinda understood what you meant, but then I thought “well why can’t anyone else make such a good EV as Model 3?” Tesla simply has...
Great due diligence, thank you.
Like I said I think this is a good looking vehicle. However, at twice the price of an 8 year old design (Model S) the Taycan is not exactly value...
I quite like the look of this and it’s great Porsche put the effort in - Porsche's fully-electric Taycan super sedan lands in NZ However, Driven...
Hi all, I’ve driven an EV for more than 3 years now and been a Tesla/SpaceX follower for a couple of years more than that. I started with a 24kWh...
Congrats! Don’t forget your mud flaps, screen protector and high capacity USB hard drive. I didn’t bother with console protector but did get...
I have the exact same car and build date and get 380km to a charge. However, sometimes I have a heavy foot or drive up more hills so I only get...
It’s not false advertising by Tesla. They used the test method developed in Europe on a stationary dynamo and got 560km based on the WLTP mix of...
Great thread! The Welfare State that also heralded the end of the Gilded Age - free public education, unemployment benefits, superannuation,...
PlugShare all the way. It’s the international app and is used across chargers installed by lines companies, ChargeNet and private proprietors such...
Which is embarrassing in itself....
I don’t have FSD but I’ve noticed Autopilot doesn’t cope well with cars parked on the verge or when there’s any kind of lane merge or lane split....
Silly question - how do you access the Tesla supercharger garage in Auckland? It has a key pad but I was never given a code.
How do strangers manage the door handles and door buttons? Do you get many scuffs from shoes and passengers opening doors into things?
Woah, did I miss how you said you are paying 2.7c/kWh? Do you have home solar? I pay 14c to Ecotricity and pay the carbon offsets but even that...
Not bad for a budget car.
Hey congratulations! I’m very jealous of your home energy system - I’d love to do the same but I live in an apartment, which makes it more...
You also assume a petrol engine in a car is the same or better efficiency than a FF power station. It isn’t. Coal fired power stations can be up...
Where do you see Netflix? I just got 32.12.1 but no Netflix under Entertainment screen. I only have LTE - is this why?
Yeah the 40kWh and 52kWh versions of the cute Zoe are good cars but Renault seem to have been MIA since when I first drove a Zoe in NZ in 2016.
It’s you and Rob’s big day today isn’t it? I hope you enjoy receiving your cars and any trepidation wears off quickly and you have a great time....
Yes according to the phone app. Is this not right?
