I don’t have much self importance personally, I’m more interested in truth, you should try it sometime…

I guess we’ll just have wait and see how that pans out won’t we.

I’m glad you’re 1000km away

I don’t have a problem with anyone’s opinions. I do struggle with obtuse commentary and general water muddying. Some would say you excel at both but you did let yourself down with your earlier post…

I certainly wouldn’t expect you to stop posting on my behalf. It would be nice if you stopped posting crappola, but that’s up to you…

To be honest, I find your postings deliberately uninformed and provocative and loaded with diversionary misinformation so I normally just scroll on by but when I see you blatantly posting <deleted> I’ll continue to call you out. Probably best if you can find a niche I know nothing about.

I’ve been around for a while and while I certainly don’t “follow” your particular line of dribble, it does at least seem to be consistent and that’s always a nice thing 👍🏼

I’m just asking questions… I don’t know how ev brakes work, from what you’re saying they are not mechanical like an ice vehicle they must be some sort of battery actuated system… that IS what you’re saying isn’t it ? Youre not being obtuse now are you ?

So you’re telling us that that ev have battery actuated braking systems ?

I’ve never seen you write something reasonable and objective before, are you ok or have you been hacked ?

No Mr uninformed, they do not share the same battery technology. Stop repeating stupidity for the sake of it.

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.
