Ahh, brake failure 👍🏼 you didn’t say it was in Thailand.

Does the same notification stop you from applying the brakes in an ev ?

Are you saying that ice vehicles don’t have electrical faults ? Or are you saying that ev don’t have a mechanical action brake ? What are you saying…? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Your quote of mine refers to poster Rampant Rabbits demand that evs needed to have 1000km range, my point was that very few vehicles ev or ice have 1000km range. When I purchased the Prado it was to be a daily drive for my wife and our two kids but also my tow vehicle for me and my fishing boat, the vehicle just happened to come with 180lt fuel capacity.

You’ve had 1 owner respond. You've had 3 and now me who don’t own an ev, let alone a Chinese one. The owners I’ve read comments from have been very happy with their vehicles, most seem pretty open minded and not evangelical. Scooter and mobile phone batteries are not used in ev, different chemistry, different performance. I did own a Toyota Prado that could do 1000km on a tank (actually, main and aux tanks but factory standard) of diesel, 180lts, no other vehicle I’ve owned goes remotely close to 1000km. My 2021 diesel HiAce can get 650km fully loaded if I drive gently though. Something above that I do agree with is that we won’t really know how long they last until they don’t… that said I’d expect 3-5 yrs of trouble free motoring. Personally, I’d buy.

Yes, their children would rather they were burning dinosaurs… 🙄

Will it ?

Of course, performance ice vehicles are the pinnacle of economy… 🤦🏼‍♂️

Do you own a fortuna or are you just cherry picking to suit your agenda ? I drive a 2021 Toyota HiAce. Diesel auto. With a mix of 80/100kmh driving I get 9-9.5l/100km. Stop start sends it up over 10, sitting on 130kmh sends it towards 12l/100km. Towing any type of trailer sends it towards 12. Edit: And towing @ 150kmh gets it up around 15-16l/100km 7.3l/100km @ 120+ is laughable.

lol. The fortuna will be drinking like a camel @120kmh.

Are you saying that you have lengths of PVC from the pump to the bore cap ? If I understand what you two are saying, my bore pump has 50mm black poly pipe connecting the pump to the bore cap (50mm because of the available water and corresponding pump size) but it also has a stainless steel cable that attaches to the pump (lanyard) The pump itself originally had a non return valve that held water in the poly when the pump was not running but it is no longer water tight and the water trickles back to the water table. Its not a real problem, it just means that when the pump first starts it burps and farts a bit… When the water gets to the bore cap it then connects to 50mm PVC and then to the individual irrigation runs that are 25mm poly. The problem with using the poly from the pump to the bore cap is that when you lift the pump you need someone to walk the bore cap away so as to not kink the poly and if I understand what you’ve done you will need to hold the pump/PVC whilst someone unscrews the assembled lengths…? Sounds heavy ! Some people use what’s basically a fire hose to come from the pump to the bore cap, apparently it’s easier to pull but it’s very expensive.

Why do you assume I believe you’ll lose ?

When you lose you buy yourself a Nissan leaf.

Congratulations Owl !

Geez, who woulda thunk that ev manufacturers would have rubbery efficiency numbers just like their ice older brothers…

Spot on, and from your link "Anna was raised in a village about a 15-minute drive from our farm and the majority of her family is still there," Ben said. "So she knew the land, she knew there were no utilities at all, but she knew that it was a beautiful spot.“

Looking at the pic “Anna” may hold the clues

“Look at me !” ”Look at me !”

That seems to be a somewhat truncated conversation.

Then go away and come back in 10 years when we can discuss longer term numbers. Yet people like you get hard ons about ice warrantee… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sorry, my bad. I was under the impression that your only interest was denial and annoyance. How was your holiday ?

I’m interested in the tech, doesn’t sound like everyone else is… If they don’t buy one, why would they care ?

Why would you care ?

I totally agree with you KhunLA. At first it was “ev are rubbish”, then it became “ev destroy the environment” (ice are the environments friend… 🤔) “ev exploit children” etc etc… Now thankfully we seem to have gotten past all that. Now ev are evil because someone’s crystal ball predicts that they will have a lower resale value one day in the future… maybe… “I think”… possibly… I wonder if their Crystal balls can help me with my lotto numbers ? Its just a slightly refined version of their earlier “What ifs”
