  1. right now, it would make zero sense for myself to buy any car but that said, the best thing for an EV for a solar owner is using the EV as extra storage for the house but still makes no financial sense, as batteries are much cheaper and i already have a car
  2. yes you should calculate typical usage etc but i will be honest, it is better to forget ROI if using batteries or for off grid system at least for lithium anyway There is no guarantee they will last as long as stated, only time will tell The best ROI is on grid systems for places that use electricity during the day as you can literally max out your investment problems off grid, bad days hit you hard if you continue to use your typical load you calculated for so you have to plan for bad days which means go above your needs and spending more then you have issues with when just some days you need more juice than others and on very good days you may use power just to stop it going to waste where as if you were paying for grid power, you may not have used power you don't need plus many people waste grid power, not worrying about the bill till it arrives so calculating can be extremely difficult to get right for off grid or SOC system
  3. i am totally OFF Grid (not low or zero bills, actually off grid) typical day, we have an aircon in the electric room running 24/7 at 28C and at least one other aircon running in the house on really good days we turn them all on which we have total 6 i have aircon running most of the day in my office and i have currently 5 computers running 24/7 2 are pulling 180-320w 1 180-480w and 2 small rigs pull about 50-80w each plus 2 monitors (i had 11 computers running till last month) then add on top chest freezers and fridge and oven and kettle etc and charging of Milwaukee batteries often note: with exception of my dogs room all aircons are the higher end more efficient aircons, they cost like double price to buy but power saving is huge i do not drive an EV, as it would make zero sense for myself to purchase one.
  4. for the righteous i have solar and drive an EV that is you I have solar and an EV but you say I’m righteous, I never claimed it. did i mention you by name? mo, but you replied anyway, if the shoe fits Yes, you are fortunate to able to do what you do and live how you live, be grateful Yes I am but it’s the same for every expat living in Thailand who mentioned expats? the vast majority of people cannot live like you the same for every expat living in Thailand since when did "the vast majority" exclude the vast majority? the vast majority of people use their cars during the day EV owners can charge at night using TOU half price electric, but you didn’t know that. With average journeys most people would only need to charge once a week when they were doing something else like shopping but you didn’t know that YES, i know that, but this is mental gymnastics for i have an EV i charge during the day with excess solar" which is what i was referring too and has been stated many times, although not sure if by yourself the vast majority of people cannot afford solar better to borrow the money to buy solar as it makes good financial sense with a 5 year payback, but you didn’t know that now you are encouraging people to get further into debt, again other people are not you. the vast majority of people cannot afford a brand new second hand car, let alone a new EV The Neta V EV is cheaper than a suzuki swift and even cheaper second hand, but you didn’t know that most people do not need a new car of any kind, most people have not finished paying for the car they are currently driving, but you already know that, again encouraging people to get into debt is not good and other people are not you. the vast majority of people do not have 30 minutes to wait for a charge on long journeys but you didn’t know that new EVs can add 350km of range in 20 minutes Yes my point still stands as i said long journey, you literally made my point for me the vast majority of people cannot afford to replace a disposable EV every few years EVs come with 8 years warranty including the battery but you didn’t know that as i said replace every few years, 8 years flies by the vast majority of people cannot afford to signal their virtue in such ways EV haters always accuse EV owners of “virtue signaling” while all the time signaling their own ignorance why do you know someone drives an EV, because they tell you every chance they get. if the grid cannot meet the demands of aircons being run on high imagine how bad it would get when everyone got home from work and charged their EV Not true but you didn’t know that. It’s clearly too complicated for you to understand so I won’t waste any more of my time trying to educate you. what is not true? the article above is about huge power demands, if EVERYONE drove an EV, electricity demand would increase especially certain times of day, and no, not everyone would wait for off peak hours Sometimes it just helps to be humble and grateful for the situation we ourselves are in regardless of how others live.
  5. TLDR and no, not everyone could if they managed their finances better. the fact you needed to ramble on so much proves my point
  6. you again? go away i will explain it slowly for you so you understand "brand new second hand" simply means brand new to me but second hand for example, when some says "i just bought a new car" and they expect others to read their mind and understand it is actually a second hand car see how words matter The term that has also been used in music SINCE 1975 to describe something that might be new but not original or music that is new and taking inspiration from something old depending on whether you ask Roots Manuva or Peter Tosh i add 🤡s to ignore list, goodbye.

  8. sorry i canno0t read minds, so can only go by the words you type. words matter. i am not going to assume you meant something other than what you typed, That is rude and offensive for most.
  9. why would "other tenants" have had their deposit not returned if they are tenants?
  10. why did you put a question mark at the end of this statement? and why did you rent there in the first place? "within my rights" LOL
  11. More than a browser displays but you do not need storage for that CPU and RAM are what matters there i run low power 7900 CPUs and just 32GB RAM each rig (5600-6000)
  12. Then why did you even ask? and you did not provide answers, you provided false arguments. you got everything wrong and you call me the moron lol another one on the ignore list yeh, that is all computers are good for.
  13. who said i wanted a 60TB drive? and yes i do have a LOT of storage but WTF has that got to do with you, what i do with my machines? and no i don't use them to store videos, or music or pictures or any media, and not mining crypto sorry not sorry, your previous messages invoke such a reply. if you were less argumentative while also being wrong, maybe i would have dropped you a hint as to why i have so much hardware running 24/7
  14. that is not buying with BTC, you do not even top up with BTC what you are doing is selling your BTC for fiat (which will happen on an exchange) then topping up your card with fiat then you buy goods with fiat it all just happens instantly in the background so you do not see it
  15. Halving was priced in weeks ago, now you will see the smaller miners get pushed out over the next year or so
  16. NO, Samsung did NOT produce a 60TB drive HDD or SSD SEAGATE did SEAGATE also have recently produced/announced a 30TB drive 24TB drives are already on the market so NO, you would not need a rack of Drives for 60TB, but 2 or 3 HDD (if you can somehow manage to get a 30TB at this stage, but 24TB are available) and Teamgroup also have a 2.5" 15TB SSD (SATA not NVME) on the market so even for 60TB of SSD, again, NO you would not need a rack, but just 4 x 2.5" drives find someone else to argue with or come correct.
  17. the way things are going it may not even make it to market ford already reduced production in 2023 and pulled back on $12 Billion investment Tesla are laying off 3000 staff due to decline in sales Chinese companies have over produced with fields of cars going nowhere Try part-exing an EV and see what happens... EVs are single owner disposable vehicles
