Yep, tor me it’s because it requires a Pixel. And specifically poor Pixel battery life.
I value battery life, and every Pixel I check out on gsmarena has an endurance rating < 90h.
For comparison, my current phone’s endurance rating is 113h, and this is why I ended up shopping by chipset. Everything not Snapdragon had poor battery life. (Disclaimer: haven’t looked for a couple of years)
Why Sualii was ever picked when he’s known to be going to rugby since March 2023 will forever fry my brain. He’s also done nothing much in the centres for the Roosters this year, so there is not even the ‘picked on form’ argument to be made… smh…,
I’m getting deja vu. NSW knee jerk/panic selections incoming in 3,2,1…
‘Fire at 10 dealerships’ doesn’t sound nearly as clickbaity as ‘10 dealerships burned to a crisp’.
And if you see a picture of that 10th dealership, only the showroom burned down. ‘a total of seven vehicles were destroyed in this latest fire, and several privately-owned vehicles (at the location for repairs) were also damaged in the incident’. There were dozens of cars in the dealership lot that were untouched. I won’t even go into BYD’s claim that ‘the source of the fire did not come from their car on display. But from a room on the second floor of the building’
But I guess we have different sources, and live in different bubbles.
There’s a narrative being pushed that EVs = fires.
It’s used as a fear tactic, and every time I’ve done a basic search, the facts show it to be proven false. Be sceptical, and use your critical thinking skills when you see these claims/stories.
See my post above relating to this specific claim.
It’s exactly what you see over and over in media headlines and reporting around EVs and fires. As soon as you look at facts, oh, surprise surprise that’s wrong!
That’s not what I was on about. I’m not pro any brand in particular.
It was a simple search to show fires happen at dealerships of other brands too. And as you’ve now found there is no reliable independent data on fires at dealerships by brand.
So, nobody can really state whether BYD has more or less dealership fires than any other brand.
If I had a history of saying what your accusing me of saying, then I’d deserve this. But I don’t.
What? Irrelevant.
I claimed some EV dealerships burned down, you complained but then you provide more examples of EV dealerships burning down.
No, you claimed 10 BYD dealerships were burned to crisp. I showed it was neither a BYD problem alone (other brands have fires at dealerships), nor in fact were the dealerships ‘burned to a crisp’. In the last BYD incident, the majority of cars at the dealership were in fact neither burned nor crispy at all. 7 cars were burnt, and several damaged.
This is the only time ive talked about it. I’ve talked about this subject with you far longer than anyone else about it, here or IRL…which is why I said you’re putting words in my mouth. I’m done, bye
So, you talking is me putting words in your mouth? I keep dragging you back to your original false/misleading comment.
I remember reading a while ago that with medical and technical advances over the next 50 years, they reckoned that some people born now will be able to effectively live forever, eg replacing or regenerating body parts, cure cancer etc etc
I’d need to think for a while about if you could, would you want to live forever? I vaguely remember a sci fi short story that had this question as part one of it’s themes.
