Have a look at tyresales.com.au, you can chuck in the tires you want or even put in your car make/model.
All it does is scrape the best price off all the tire shops, but it’s a hell of a lot easier than searching 5-6 different websites. they can then get them shipped to a local (to you) place for fitting.
quite remarkable. kind of puts the “ev cars will kill the grid/where do I charge them” argument to bed. park in on the street for a day in Australia and get 120kms of charge. (10 hours of sun) park in the sun during the week and keep toping it up and you will have 700 odd kms of range.
$230K aud is putting it a bit out of reach, but the concept makes a lot of sense.
Frustratingly with these rapid improvements in technology, and teasers sush as solar, hydrogen, it means for some people the purchase is delayed, until they can have the next iteration. Plus there’s an increasing # of car manufacturers, many of which won’t survive, and presumably the car won’t be serviceable long term.
I asked an engineering mate about this concept when l visited him and family in 2014. He said then it wasn’t feasible. I believed that it was only a matter of time. These cars will get cheaper over time and the lack of a need for an infrastructure means no great investment needs to be made.
The price will come down. Right now it’s concept to the mega wealthy
The solar car will be exclusively sold in Europe, although Lightyear has previously announced plans to launch a more affordable solar-powered electric car.
Named the Lightyear Two, the €30,000 ($AU46,500) solar car is scheduled to go on sale in Europe from 2024 or 2025.
Looks good, something I would be interested in, but still out of reach for the average Joe, (and I would want a SUV)
Car manufacturers need to bring these back. What could go wrong?
You can have a full Gaggia machine in the EV6 and IONIQ5 with their V2L capabilities.
seen this @westozziebomber
no doubt a basil ZEMPILAS initiative
0-88mph in 4.35 seconds.
When this car hits 88mph, you’re gonna see some serious ■■■■!
Car looks very impressive. Website reads like a crypto scam. Probably won’t see one in Australia in my lifetime.
That looks out of my price range, and not really that practical.
It is all about the looks.
Any blitzers drive a citroen? They look odd but are they really everything thats comfortable? (For reasonable not super expensive money)
I was reading that Tesla dropped their new car prices about 25% in the US on Friday. I gather one reason was to meet the threshold for maximum rebates but people were speculating on other reasons.
People are annoyed that a new car now costs much less than secondhand cars a fortnight ago.
