    buying a new house...
    I hate dealing with real estate at the best of times.

    only industry I know where the price isn't the price

     

    anyway settlement was meant to be Friday

    got a call yesterday to say the Tenant hasn't moved out - and wants 2 more weeks.

    keep in mind id already moved settlement back because apparently no one on their side checked a calendar to see what notice had to be given or that the new date they proposed was a public holiday.

    I didn't even know it was tenanted till they sent through the contracts - which is why I made sure that everything was subject to it being vacant.
    the grubs still tried to see if I would settle while the tenant was in place. or if I could move it back 2 weeks.

    (i physically cant. need to be out of my place next weekend. its the only place on the street not being demolished yet - and holding up a government project. - they aren't going to renegotiate vacancy dates)


    what a stressful few days.
    still have no idea if it will settle next week - but my conveyancer is the solicitor who took care of my place being compulsory acquired by the government and is on it - so they better have everything ready, as he is like bringing a cannon to a knife fight.

    The only real difference between an EV & an ICE car is the propulsion system and the fuel. The electric motor or motors are very simple by comparison including the transmission to rotate the wheels, make hardly any noise are way more efficient and virtually free of vibration.

     

    The battery is heavy but keeps the CofG low so road handing and weight distribution can be as close to perfect as possible. This is true for the MG 4 and some other RWD EVs. A large percentage of current EVs began their life as an ICE car so carry over that baggage and many are front wheel drive so there has to be a compromise.

     

    There is a lot of talk about the cost and that only the wealthy can afford an EV (more specifically a Tesla). This as now old news and todays fish and chip paper. Tesla have reduced the prices across the range and they are more competitive with other quality brands. Almost all legacy car makers have a number of EV models in their lineup now. There are more than 300 EV manufacturers in China alone which is more than the rest of the world put together.

     

    The market analysts were predicting that EV and ICE vehicle prices would merge by 2025. This has already happened, just not in Australia. But the base model MG4, GWM Ora and BYD Dolphin are all sub 40k vehicles. They are all very good cars so the ethos that EVs are for the wealthy has well and truly gone, just not in the minds of EV knockers.

    Try telling tgat to some pensioners they will never have a electric vehicle im self funded and cannot afford one

  6. No litespeed not saying that you cannot have a view , only recently i had access to my fathers war/military records , he often spoke of his time in Burma and his recollection was that they were moving so quickly that they took no prisoners he was with General Slims army in the South Wales Borderers the Japanese were fanatical  as we know and to be taken a prisoner was shameful to the soldiers of the Japanese army, so the WW11 soldiers were under great stress and probably did war crimes but were never prosecuted in large numbers , all i can say is war is terrible, civilians bear the brunt of it ,the average age of IDF soldiers is 25 years and are always under attack, I for one would not like to be in their shoes .the world has not learned at all from WW11 .WW1 was "the war to end all wars" it didn't but now we have madmen all over world  trying to start WW3 ( sorry that you took offence wasnt a attack on you ) cheers gareth
