I was just happy my kid will ask less youtube l, if there's a law made against YouTube, but there are really good points made here:

๐ AAA Real-World Test: 4/4 Failed.
Latest independent testing shows every new EV model missed its advertised WLTP range. The worst offender dropped a massive 31% in real-world conditions (see attached table).
Best was Tesla Model Y with just 3% off.
In Australia, a 30% gap isn't just a stat, itโs the difference between making the charger at Euroa or calling a tow truck. Our distances don't forgive lab-test optimism.
Lab stickers are officially untrustworthy. Until reality matches the brochure, may be people will be banking on massive batteries (like the incoming 110kWh Ioniq 9) just for the safety buffer. โ ๏ธ๐ฆ๐บ

153 EV models now in Aus, but where are the family busses? ๐คฏ
The Core Fact: As of mid-2025, Australia has 153 distinct EV models available (up from 104 last year). 55 of these are priced under $60k, effectively killing the "EVs are too expensive" argument for small cars.
* Hatch/Sedan: Saturated. 26 models <$50k (e.g., MG4, BYD Dolphin).
* SUVs (5-seat): The biggest slice. Massive competition (Model Y, Atto 3, Sealion 7).
* Utes/Vans: 18 models now available (e.g., LDV eTerron 9, Riddara RD6). Tradies finally have options.
* 7-Seater/People Movers: The critical gap. Only a handful of true options: Kia EV9 (expensive), LDV MIFA 9 (van life), Mercedes EQB (tight), and new Hyundai IONIQ 9 & VW ID. Buzz.
We have 55 cheap runabouts, but my family needs seats. The industry is flooding us with 5-seat SUVs we don't need, while the affordable 7-seater remains a unicorn. Give us a $70k electric Sorrento/Kluger! ๐ฆ๐

What if you could stop craving the things that hold you back? My latest article, "Change Your Taste for Good," dives into a powerful method I used for shifting my desires at their root.

Best use of internet is to find better people to be jealous of and hence be inspired from.
If you are going to be competing.. why do it with someone you know who's just 10% up.
AIM HIGHER!!
@gregisenberg Good points.. and I think we ARE heading that way.. with Gemini being able to control (not current on and off.. work sometimes.. doesn't other times, but work all time) more and more apps.. opportunity for Google to get users into more of their apps (as that can be in control)
You can have workout while having fun!
If you say: 'I don't have time to workout', try framing as: 'I don't prioritize the workout in my daily schedule..'. You might see a change!
Ps: For those unaware, it's a Table tennis simple robot.
The final data on the Nio ES8 & Onvo L90 is in, and my spreadsheets are telling me this isn't a car launch; when these come to Australian shores (news is they might be closer than you think)- it'll be a strategic execution of the entire Aussie family car market.
โI've run the numbers, applying a realistic "Australia Tax" to the final China pricing. The results are a bloody nice.
โThe Onvo L90: The Mass-Market Nuke
The data is insane. With their battery subscription, the L90 lands here for ~$48,300 AUD. Let me run that number again. A massive, 6-seat family hauler for the same price as a BYD Atto 3. It's a weapon designed to vaporize the sub-$70k family SUV segment.
โThe Nio ES8 Gen 3: The Premium Kill Shot
This is the assault on the high ground. With the battery subscription, it lands for ~$76,900 AUD. That's a 700hp, 7-seat, 900V luxury land-yacht for less than a top-spec Tesla Model Y. It's designed to make the German luxury brands look like a financial joke.
โThe Analyst's Take:
This is a brutal, data-driven pincer movement. They're not just launching cars; they're launching two different business models to attack two different market segments simultaneously.
โThe real question isn't whether these cars are good. The data says they are. The real question is: how does anyone else compete with these numbers?
One thing they dont do as well is efficiency.. but with fast speed and battery swap that may be okay for most.
