I saw quite a few on the drive between Hobart-Geeveston on Saturday but I couldn't compare to last campaign.

Nissan Leaf! Interesting choice. My guesses as to why you chose it: 1) it was cheap 2) you need something you could carry large items in Am I close?

Well, it’s 95% of people who chose to write a opt-in submission. So someone who was against it contacted a bunch of others to flood the submissions. Basically nothing like an actual poll.

Gemini gave me 8 which makes sense if you mean terms entire between those years. Buggered if I know how some got 15 though!

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 26/05/2025
Do you mean the entirety of their terms between 1970 and 2013, or include any part of their terms in those years? Do you count Rudds 2 terms separately? “Australian prime ministers” (PMs of any country who were born in Australia) or “prime ministers of Australia”?

Think about how often you replace tyres and what the tax would need to be to cover the equivalent of fuel excise for that same period. Then consider what a low income earner would do when faced with a multi thousand $ cost. They’ll be driving on bald tyres for as long as possible. A danger to all.

Have you watched the Black Mirror episode “Joan Is Awful”?

People still think its just a car company. Amazing.

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 23/04/2025
In the past its valuation has been on all kinds of silly things, which no one thought would happen, then they did, then people forgot about them.

Go back a bit further..

You know valuation and profit are totally different things, right?

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
No, there isn’t. Literally anyone with one of their cars can prove this. It’ll be thrown out of court on the first day.

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
Generalist publications have been saying shit like this for years. Irrespective of CEO’s dickhead shenanigans. Every new thing the company has done has been “impossible” “stupid” “non-viable” … right up to the point where all their competitors started scrambling to catch up.

They don’t seem to be having any issues in Australia..

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 02/04/2025
I get you’re into politics but you’re clearly not in EV circles. They’re still the highest selling EVs in the country, despite all the Musk shit going on.

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 02/04/2025
My point is this is presumably in response to the US tariffs. I know Trump is acting like a child, doesn’t mean we need to. It would only hurt EV uptake in Australia.

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 02/04/2025
Teslas sold in Australia are made in China, not the US.

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
Agreed. There are so many factual things that Musk can be attacked for, it baffles me that people need to rewrite history (fake statements about Tesla, SpaceX etc) or just blindly believe bot generated rubbish. There is no shortage of *real* idiocy spewing from his mouth!

Don’t understand what “objective” means, do you?

The owners of Tesla are 80% not Elon and a good chunk are super/401k funds.

@ludicrousfeed.bsky.social One crazy EV owner has taken his Model 3 on the ferry to Flinders Island - to add the island's first Plugshare entries! see facebook.com/charlesoncha... for more!

@ludicrousfeed.bsky.social Hobart Airport has recently posted that 10 new Audi Q6 EVs have arrived in the state for unknown purposes - ad filming, or review drives perhaps?

Why are you running a candidate in Franklin? It’s a safe Labor seat. Why not Braddon or Bass?

Mine was the Model 3! Did the trip in October/November 2023 after the AEVA Expo in Perth. The Cupra Born driver happened to be there for the same thing!

They always seem concerned about children mining cobalt, until I tell them they my EV (and a large percentage of EVs) doesn’t contain any cobalt, but that petrol refining does. Then, all of a sudden, it’s not something they care about any more.

To be honest they probably looked dumb from the start.

I came here to get away from it, but everyone is still taking about Musk and Trump here :-/ What’s the point?

Mostly people who drive giant diesel 4WDs, to be honest.

chuq @chuqtas.bsky.social · 18/01/2025
Good article! It’s not something you should *need* to defend, as you say there is no viable alternative at the moment. Also, most of the people who will attack you for it are kind of people who drive massive diesel 4WDs and would burn baby seals for energy if they could get away with it.
