Gavin! How did you miss this when you were in the USA recently? @KiwiEV
In the US, you can mail a potato without packaging. You write the address directly on the potato

Popped past the Tesla stall again towards the end of Saturday to check how they were going on their target of 600 tests and they were pretty happy with progress. Will drop in again tomorrow to check again.

Leapmotor have their new B10 on display at Everything Electric Melbourne. Considering the popularity of the C10, it should be a big seller delivering a great combination of space and value.

Hanging with the press at Everything Electric Melbourne. Going to be an awesome show with some cool vehicles that are making their first appearance at an Australian show.

Saw this comment on a recent Everything Electric podcast with @LudicrousFeed and Sarah Aubrey. Brilliant way to explain why hybrids are just not needed as a "bridging technology".

My daughter and BF are finishing their second marathon 1829km+ drive from Melbourne to Brisbane in an MG4 Excite 61 EV. Does anyone know of a longer trip by an MG4 in a single 24 hour period? @AEVA_National @LudicrousFeed

A very similar battery for a Prius C is well over $300 and last only around 3 years, and for my Prado around $400.

After nearly 6 years the 12V battery in my 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance finally gave up, giving me a clear warning a week ago and prompting me to make a service appointment. Mobile Tesla Tech came by today and 20 minutes later job was all done for under A$200!

Look at the Zionists pretending to care about hostages or peace. This doctor will go back to cheerleading the Israeli genocide of Palestinians as soon as the IDF break the truce (as they inevitably will do).
The return of hostages to their families and the suspension of military operations in Gaza are moments of profound significance and hope. We all watch on, hoping this fragile peace can last and that the rest of the plan can be achieved. There's much to do, to rebuild families,

Got a cold call from @medibank today looking to follow up on some recent medical claims. First thing the caller does is try to verify my information by asking for personal ID. They called me, and yet they had no way to identify themselves. Do better! (Banks are just as bad!)

If past news is anything to go by, sustainable fusion power could be as little as 30 years away! Seriously though, things are looking pretty promising. https://t.co/xUcvU7v0gi

They manage to keep the plasma stable for 22 minutes, breaking the Chinese record and bringing practical nuclear fusion closer.

Visited the Pakenham and Keysborough @TeslaCharging Superchargers today. This brings me back to having charged at every single Victorian Supercharger, including the two which no longer exist. This will be a great ice breaker at parties!

I paid 85c/kWh at the @NRMA charger at Wycheproof, Victoria today, and just 38c/kWh at the @TeslaCharging Supercharger in Lucas, Ballarat. How can this discrepancy be justified? Is there just no demand elasticity?

Stopped off at the Nhill @TeslaCharging for a big fill! Mr Le across the road has a decent Bahn Mi and Pho! Will try their Vanilla Slice on the way home.

Sharp's Bakery in Birchip won the coveted "best vanilla slice" again this year. Thin, crisp pastry, firm tasty custard, good bite. Next stop Nhill Supercharger.

Next stop on the Vanilla Slice tour is Bridgewater Bakehouse. Grabbed some savoury in the form of a sausage roll as well. Crispy pastry and light fluffy custard. Delicious!

Next stop on the vanilla slice tour is Marong Bakery. Charging at the NRMA station while we visit Elmore's Bakery. Pastry a bit soft, but the custard was excellent.
