Nice choice of bike to convert, they're super light weight, it's crazy. :thumb: I picked up a RS125 myself last year that was already converted then sort of left about and never road registered as it was built as a university project. The batteries were pretty average and only 42V from my understand...

. Cannot be a big market segment at that price. But there is plenty of money in the HD fan club. And it is still cheaper than the cheapest EV (Hyundai etc).. :wink: Don't disagree that there are big spenders in the HD fan club but I feel a Venn diagram comparing EV lovers and HD lovers doesn't have...

Wish those subtitles would translate - looks like a heap of fun.

What was the general consensus?

The first couple of eps were so so - hopefully it picks up.

Would love to take a HD livewire for a spin but they're $50,000 here!
Burn in hell.

First Hydrogen Fueled Aircraft Flight Martin B-57 Canberra (1955) On 13 February 1957, the first of three successful flights was made and the fuel system worked well.

My previous employer was seeking to do all the things Tesla is doing now (except Tesla has competent engineers and a vision, and my previous employer ...didn't. http://www.capebouvardtechnologies.com.au/tech The structural battery thing is kinda dumb really. It's totally unnecessary but if you were...

The party just got bigger... :shock: :mrgreen: The Justice Department has joined U.S. securities regulators in examining allegations that electric-truck startup Nikola Corp. NKLA -3.78% misled investors by making exaggerated claims about its technology, according to people familiar with the matter....

But WTF ??.. GM buying int this con artist ?..what ever happened to “Due Dilligence” ?.. Or..maybe they deserve each other. Uh they did the figures... and well the money will (potentially) flow out of Nikola into GM, not the other way around. Hardly buying into them, just gives GM another potential...

Snip for your (less than $100k ?).. Tesla whilst at work !... you are truly a fortunate man ! snip Why are you acting like Tesla's aren't under 100k? Even in Australian $ you can pick up a brand new Tesla for under 100k. Tesla 3 in AUD is like 75k? Well below that in USD which is where Jack lives. Y...

Even if you halved your cobalt usage per cell.... each year they produce more and more cells. Of course they're going to secure cobalt, they want to keep their supplies in check and don't want the cost to spiral out of control. I have my doubts about any battery revolution overnight but progress is ...

Could be great news for people doing custom builds, more secondhand batteries in the market if they outlast the cars they're in.

Sorry for the confusion. A (good looking) waterproof opening for charging in the motorcycle tank is really the primary aim of the game. If a standard motorcycle filler cap was large enough to accept a standard phase one cable into it I'd possibly look at just mounting a standard cable. Most filler c...

Yeah I just want a slick looking plug, there's no real reason beyond that

Thanks again for the ideas.

https://www.evalbo.de/shop/ladedosen/ You can simply mount this where the filler cap used to be. Thanks for that quick response. How does one go from that sort of plug to a standard wall plug? Edit: I guess I need a T2 to 3pin 10amp (Australian plug: Type I) adaptor... but have had no luck finding ...

Hey guys, had a bit of a dig around and have been unable to find much of anything where people have replaced their standard ICE petrol cap assembly with a 240/120V type setup. Is there any sort of kit out there that makes this an easy proposition? Most of the outside/water resistant AC plugs I'm awa...

I thought Tesla only released sales figures quarterly? Did I miss something recently? Kind of comparing apples to oranges but if you've only got apples and oranges, well. :evil: You're right, Jan is generally a low output month, I just think it'll be particularly slow this time around and will take ...

Yes, everyone is down due to COVID-19 - that's not something unique to BYD now is it?
In fact all of the issues selling cars in China at the moment apply to everyone.

Was Tesla's previous sales in December limited by demand or by supply capacity?
No way to know but I'm sure you'll speculate away.

I feel like everything is going to be down this year regardless of the incentives or otherwise, the drama around COVID-19 is causing issues with all sorts of industries. Am I personally worried, not really but it has had major impacts on manufacturing and supply chains that appear to be ongoing. Can...

69 billion over the 2 financial years ending 2007/8 ... Wow, that had to hurt. How anyone can complete with companies losing that sort of money... (Yes, yes bailouts too but not everyone is a favorite that will get those). This financial year is still in the black for Tesla if I recall correctly, no...

Tesla? :whistle:

Haha are you here all week? Try the veal?

Nice.

Interesting figures - not sure where Ohbse is getting them from. However if you don't count the "Accident Compensation Corporation" deduction (we don't count medicare levy etc in ours) and just go pure PAYE tax rate you end up with NZ paying slightly less. PAYE - $20,620NZ Vs 20,797AU. htt...

Maybe we need IKEA flat packed cars we can assemble here to avoid import taxes on fully assembled vehicles. Components would get you under the LCT at the very least :lol: :pancake: Getting over all the hurdles described would be a mission and a half even if you didn't have to compete against massive...

I'd say the primary reason is still that showrooms/dealers sell vehicles on behalf of manufacturers and said dealers rely on servicing to stay afloat. Not to mention that even manufacturers have vehicles that are loss leaders. Pumping out cheap cars with expensive parts is a great way to make a buck...

Wonder how well they do in RHD countries holistically. Maybe they could probably pull out of all of them without too much detriment..... reports i have read say they will withdraw from ALL RH drive markets ( india, Japan, Thailand, S Africa, etc) and selling the Thailand production plant (RH ?) to ...

Ah I missed that gem, ironically though that's more repulsive to me than just a price increase.
