that parking skill lmaos
it was a deliberate decision to park this way. unfortunately some cables for msia stations aren't long enough, and it would either be impossible to reach the charging port (on the other side of the car), or it will cause a lot of tension/stress on the cable and/or charging port of the car. parking slant within the 'lot boundary' allows the charging port to be made closer to the station, and at the same time allow space for door opening between both adjacent cars.
that is of course my personal experience and solution. feel free to share if you have personally tried and experienced a better solution! =)
These are the 2 guys I wanna sit at the coffeeshop when i am making my decision on EVs. Certainly they don't use superlatives and address concerns directly.
Having spent time as a driver and passenger in Teslas (3 and Y), I find their seats far too firm and uncomfortable, especially the lumbur support. The Ioniq 5 I had was much more comfortable and had many more practical features such as auto air recirc when cleaning windscreen vs more toy like features in Tesla like driving games etc.
Ultimately, right now, depreciation levels and lack of infrastructure means that hybrid or a new efficient ICE still makes more sense especiallly if you're doing anything more than a day trip to JB from Singapore.
I believe Tesla Superchargers will soon be widespread in Malaysia. It could be a good idea to get a Tesla, though I admit I’m biased.
Living the dream!
How about BYD compare to Tesla?
Hi Daren, can I join your road trip convoy?
Daren, you need to invest in a more stable camera. Very jerky to watch when you move .
Thanks for the feedback, Daniel!
With all the Tesla cameras and parking aids but still can’t get to park straight 🤦
Next time Go further to North of Thailand
Look forward to doing so one day!
Polestars are TERRIBLE cars. WHY would anyone waste money for a Polestar.
People say the same thing about Tesla
I'm curious what car do you drive?
@@mluu510 nonsense. I'm a car engineer and innovation designer. Polestar's cars are absolute failures. Teslas are master pieces. Two different worlds. quite obvious. Even normal people feel and see it when driving both cars. Very obvious. Doesn't take an engineer to realize it.
@@kengkhim I drove two versions of the shitty Polestar for testdrives for several weekends. Then obviously testdrove and bought a Tesla Model 3 Performance nearly 5 years ago. I now just ordered the brand new Performance version and will buy a Model Y additionally, as soon as the refresh is out.
@@user-je3cr1wr4k May I know the real world range for performance ver?
