I have a preve
I love my preve as much as you love your suprima

But we both know they’re are aging vehicles and you have sold off yours and I plan to sell off mine soon

Is an atto a good replacement for the performance we had?

Did you consider an x50? Because I am considering x50 due to the fact I need to travel to East Coast and the perkampungan at West Coast occasionally (balik kampung)

As of now, there is no price that can match the performance of a suprima

Yup back in 2020 i did consider the x50. But the wait times back then was too long.. It feels abit smaller in space compared to the suprima though

do you often check the battery cooling loop, is the coolant proprietory ?

is it hackable ?

are the terms "trust me bro" or else "warranty voided lolol" for the loop ?

motor moving parts, how are the prices ?

For once got a useful tered in /k/

Thank you OP

Are you planning to keep the car beyond the warranty period? You sound like a man / woman of means, so perhaps resale value is less of a concern to you, but would there be sufficient after sales support after the warranty period?

No i dont use the 3pin charger. I use the home wallbox.

The 3pin charger comes with the car and it would charge at a maximum amount of 10amps or 1.9kW

Fair enough.

What’s the main impetus for electric instead of hybrid?

The total money spent on charging is very inaccurate given you've had many occasions fully charging the car for free.

Dont have any interesting hybrid within the price range. The HRV Hybrid and Corolla Cross Hybrid is paired to a very slow 1.8 engine unlike their overseas variant with 2.0 engine. And since we are going to use it for long term might as well get what is the latest tech in the market right now

Thats the beauty of early adopter. Some places still gives you free charging , priority parking and close entrance to the mall

I see so that one is free lah

1.9kw if charge overnight should be more than sufficient for daily use I suppose, then weekend can full charge

Yes but don't recommend using it unless u are very sure your house 3 pin socket wiring is in good quality. Theres been cases where the socket melted

Touch the charging head every 15-30 minute to feel if its warm or hot? If it is then immediately stop charging.

I tested my house 3 pin socket and it gets quite warm, but the hotel i plug my car in, after few hours of charging also still cold

you didnt see this part eh

because to upgrade my house electricity (RCB/MCCB from 40amps to 63amps) since my house was from the 80's cost RM3.5k, the wallbox itself is free from BYD, but installation cost is Rm1.2k.

Best

- super duper clear 360 camera
- adaptive cruise control with stop n go, very stress free in the jam, on a 300k bmw this needs to be retrofitted outside and will cost almost 20k to do it
- very nice sounding stock audio system, beats the hell out of stock BMW audio
- phone app to control the car lock unlock start on aircond, on a bmw all these need to pay subscription to access, this one free
- V2L feature means can go camping bring all electrical items, car becomes a giant powerbank
- centre screen is essentially an android tablet with play store, can watch netflix YouTube disney+ etc etc

So far no useless features yet, but i turned off lane departure warning though. Very annoying, unlike german car that just vibrates the steering, this car damn loud beeping siren

having acc and clear 350 camera is the bestest

can control car with app wow amazing

I am a battery distributor and part of my responsibilities towards my clients are checking that their lead-acid batteries are in good condition.

I dont know about EV at all but was wondering are there regular checks to ensure that the EV batteries are stabil and safe to be use ?
