I think it will depend on the SoH (State of Health) of the battery, I think it will be necessary to visit the dealer and have them plug in their doobery and tell you what it is. I think it's going to be like the difference between low and high mileage cars.

Mine doesn't Lipstick on a Pig is still a Pig.

Less toxic than the lead acid battery in ICE cars.

No I didn't, I was very careful not to say it could do it in one go. You need to read exactly what I said, not what you wanted to see.

I never said it had.

Funny that, my car has done 3,000km on fresh air & sunshine.

I think the air con is already worked into the mileage, air con is usually always running, often with the heater at the same time, purpose being dehumidification.

I mentioned my lady friend in her 70's had ordered an Atto 3 410, yesterday she had a test drive of the MG4 X-Power and put down a deposit on it. I had a feeling she might, she likes fast cars. She will be charging it at MG, Central Mall and some hotels/restaurants, her house is off-grid and doesn't have a lot of power.

and a noisy engine

They use an average of 4 kWhr per day per car so not excessive.

Not normal if same insurer and no gap in coverage.

Honda's Civic is sold all over the world, so is Toyota's Corolla, all the Mercedes models pretty much. What you say is true, but it's not a major hurdle and manufacturers do it all the time.

You might find this hard to believe, but I'm not trying to impress you, the world does not revolve around Mr. YellowTail. Toyota and Ford maybe using the same names, but they are not even remotely like the same platforms. So far all we are seeing as facelifts of old cars and no talk or leaks of anything regarding a replacement. When Musk does announce a new car, history tells you to take it with a pinch of salt, for a few years anyway.

BYD are selling LHD cars in Europe.

I am tempted to say "One Swallow Does Not A Summer Make" I don't think the Seal looks anything like the Model S, I think all Tesla's are showing their age, except the Cybertruck. In the time between Tesla announcing a car and actually delivering it, BYD have moved forward many models. The elephant in the room with Tesla is they have no model replacement plan. You have the Model 3 & Y as mass market cars, there probably will be no replacement just minor upgrades. I think that ultimately dooms them to failure. I am equally sure that BYD will surpass Tesla in sales volumes fairly soon, the writing is on the wall for Tesla.

I think there is a lesson for Tesla. The Chinese bring new models to market in a fraction of the time it takes Tesla. They keep their offerings upto date and modern looking with the latest technology. Tesla are trading on yesterday and broken promises.

I drive my Seal very hard, the range drops from 580km to about 450km if I hammer it. I have had similar or worse consumption issues with ICE cars, especially if they had turbos. The accelerator pedal is an on/off switch isn’t it?

Looks heavenly.

I am sure there is lots of empty space up there

I am worried about you, is everything ok? You're starting to post reasonable things.

IMHO those are the best and best value. I made my own once, not difficult and delicious, no sugar in mine too.

And you can become of interest to them by regularly visiting certain geographical locations. For example, this Chinese car regularly parks at Langley CIA HQ, let’s bug him!

Actually, an order is the intention to buy a vehicle, so is a reservation. Outsold can refer to salesmanship, it doesn't have to refer to physically completed sales. Happy to give you the lesson, no charge.
