Thanks for the review. Can you adjust the regen braking on this model ?? Thanks

Sydney's weather is warm and 8 degrees overnight is mild It's been -1 degrees here in Victoria this week and I still don't run a heater at night and only ever did for my kids under 18months old, just toughen up a bit and you will save even more money.

It's not easy to do on a motorcycle either!

Very useful run-through. So I guess you can only customise the home screen so much. I'd like to have the seat settings on the home screen as having this car has changed how we use our cars. It's no longer my car or his car, but the car for the journey. and so we both need to have quick access to seat customization, etc. Many thanks.

I can confirm that the latest Dolphins work fine with V4 Superchargers. I bought mine 2 weeks ago and tested this in Springwood.

Wow, just WOW! You were so pedantic (in a good sense!), I could only imagine what it took (in terms of time, effors and hassle) to write all those trips and chargings down every time you pull a plug! Great job!!!! Thank you very much!!! P.S. By checking your great spreadsheet it looks like BYD is the LESS energy efficient? It tooks around ~200Wh/km whereas most other car were using considerably less?

At near '9 Redbank Road, Northmead NSW 2152' (The Children’s Hospital at Westmead) they have installed '75' fast-EVSE's (AC) in an indoor car-park, would be good when you get some free time if you could drive there and film/review the whole setup to show people & other companies that it can be done

A very comprehensive and helpful video. Thank you.

I was so invested in that other car moving on :)

It's way too much money for this car given how cheap and plastic it is and also compared to rivals. It feels like it's Toyota saying look we are green we have a BEV. Toyota also have said they aren't dropping the price to match the recent EV price drops. I can't see how they are going to sell many of these

Perfect - just what I was looking for! Thanks.

Thanks for this. I'm still dithering over whether to get a Tesla Y or not, but I did look into the pricing of this plan. Putting it in perspective for a current ICE owner, I recently got a 50.000km service on my Outback at $800, plus hire car plus time and effort to get the car there and then pick it up and then take it back for corrective work... For a Tesla Y LR, the charge cost under the Origin plan would equate to around $6.40 per "fill". So for the cost of a significant (not a _major_ ) service of an ICE vehicle, I could run a Tesla LR Y for at least 55,000km. (Assuming my arithmetic is correct.) Hmnn... I think I should stop vacillating.

What happened to Behyad Jafari & his role at EVC? 😮 [late June 2024]

The AU RHD EV sellers/companies are quite confident & optimistic that the bEV's on road % will be 50% in another 288 weeks (2,016 days) from today [Friday 28 December 2029]. Currently it's about 7% [but I think this figure includes hybrids, yes?], do we know what the current bEV AU on-road % is? Only way I see it going to 50% in 288 weeks is if something drastic happens and ice sales go down and bEV sales increase a lot compared to now

On the WED 26 June 2024 (8pm) will you be making a public $ _ _ _ donation to a charity of your choice (like in December 2023) since its the end of the financial year? Nice time to do it coming just off an overseas trip and also a reminder to viewers as its the last few days for tax benefits before the financial year end

But what was the actual range?

Taree Tesla superchargers [TSC] (near Target Taree, Coles Taree) 12-stall is fully operational and multiple non-tesla cars confirmed they work. Has BYD AU let you know when you BYD Seal will be fixed so you can use Taree TSC?

Great vid Tom, Q, Why are comments turned off on your Zeeker vids, they do feel more like a tourism campaign as there are more photos of food than cars 😂. Anyway looking forward to the wrap up summary.

Sydney to Canberra!!! That’s like going down to the corner shops for bread and milk.

Thanks for the excellent guide! I'll be doing this to my Dolphin when it turns up, I hope the cable is present or easy to install if it's not present.

Extremely helpful summary for a first time ev purchaser to see. Thank you very much!

Might consider the next generation. It needs improvements and refinement.

Batch of RHD Kia EV5 sent to AU has a problem with its wheels and also the software, so the release of it in Australia has been delayed until further notice

Thank you for the video. I thought long about buying this microphone. Searched for it in my holiday in China. Now I bought it with your discount code. Hope that we become the software version with this capability’s in Germany soon. Still on 2310 here with my seal RWD produced in September.

nice

Just purchased the Mic, for my wife of course. Thanks Tom.

The new 2024 Tesla Model 3 which I now own to me looks very different to the older model so here in NZ the amount of new models we see is still not many in comparison to the flood of the previous model. I still get quite excited when I see a new model.

Thanks for another great video! I've switched to Origin for a week now and most of the time the Origin app doesn't detect my car is plugged in. On most nights it would only charge to 80% although it predicts 100% and sometimes I get "Snap! We can't charge your car right now. It looks like there may be a problem with your charger." The Tesla app shows my car is awake and ready to charge. Strange!

I cant see in the Teslogic app demo a shortcut screen to pre heat the battery.

How does it compare to Polestar 2 Performance? Although slower, but it feels more premium and it includes everything Tesla took away, except the cup holder.

I was able to get it working the first day I tried it. It hasn’t worked since.

Hi Tom, a (hopefully) quick question. If Origin retro-actively charge you 8c/kWh for charging your car based on the charge put into the car and you have a smart charger in place so that it diverts solar generation into the car instead of exporting to the grid, would Origin then charge you for your own generated power going into the car? I guess a way around that would be to only charge the car at night, but for those of us with excess solar without a battery that want to charge our cars off excess solar generation, if Origin is basing their consumption and therefore charging costs to us on what they see in the app, how can they determine if the power is being supplied by them or by our solar system? Or am I missing something?

My audio isn't working. I don't have the external speaker. It's suppose to work in the car speakers. Correct?

Thanks for the steering wheel closeup. Never knew if right-hand drive cars had the gear selector on the left or right side of the wheel. I do love my '24 Model Y dual motor.

The best answer, and most likely reason we can't get our cars to work with Superchargers is Ford and Tesla are using full-spec ISO 15118 plug and charge, so there's a whole PKI certificate exchange that happens that's wildly more complicated than verifying a VIN or MAC address which one of the older standards supports. Those manufacturers that don't have the full specification implemented.

Does this thing fit a 2014 model s?

Man i love you're a local to where I am so I know all the spots in the video hahah

We all shared the pain, lol😂, I’m not as brave as you Tom!

Hmmm, that is interesting… Yesterday I paid $120 to fill up my V6, 690km range…

No wonder Toyota has been trying to slow down EV adoption. Their EV tech (used on this car) is way behind and too expensive. And cloth seats for $75,000. Classy.

Hi Tom, I am going to purchase my first EV soon and I am thinking between BYD seal premium and polestar 2 long range single motor. I test drove both today and I think I kinda leaning to BYD. I live in Sydney as well, normally just drive around sydney area and probably couple times to Canberra per year. What is your recommendation?

Top video, thanks very much.

This is incredible.. I need a Seal for this!

Great job man, thank you!!

Interesting offering from Subaru. But the pricing says, "Don't even think about it"

I was seriously considering the Model 3 performance. I had my test drive this week which went well but was disappointed by how much focus is now on the centre screen, the blinker setup, and the quality of the finishes inside. I didn't realise until now the 0 to 100 test would be 3.4 seconds which is another disappointment. The Model 3 range is a little less than I would expect given the claimed range. Im waiting for the Model Y Juniper release information, but as of now, im leaning towards the ioniq 5 N. Thanks for your review.
