    The Tesla Model Y Thread

    There's something strange going on over here at the moment. Model-Y prices are dropping: (x1.66 for ZAR) Meanwhile there are just more and more VW ID.4s on the streets lately...as in a LOT. 3 of my neighbours have them already and they're old ballies. Yet the pricing is bonkers compared to...

    The Tesla Model 3 Thread

    I saw 2 different facelift model3's this week (1 red + white seats & 1 blue) and I have to say, they look REALLY good. Makes me wonder what Project Juniper will do for the Model-Y to get the same facelift. It's just a pity they dont deliver the cars with stalks for drive mode or...

    What killed the Blockbusters?

    Other: Creatively bankrupt. Everything is a sequel, prequel or requel. There's hardly any original thoughts out there anymore. That - and I hate people...I especially hate people in cinemas with their phones out or their screaming babies or seat-kicking toddlers.

    The Volkswagen ID Thread (Contains EVs)

    My one neighbour recently got an ID.7 It reminds me of a passat sedan, but damn it's not anything to ogle at. No clue why they can't make better looking sedans. I'd say its fair to guess that around 40-50% of my neighbours now have an EV. Even artisans (sparkies, plumbers etc) are beginning to...

    The Volkswagen ID Thread (Contains EVs)

    I swear I see one every 5 minutes around here lately. They seems like a decent answer to Tesla's market dominance. I hope they'll thrive in SA.

    Immigration NZ won't reciprocate visa-free deal announced by South Africa

    I wouldn't even say its that. It's not that our passports are easy to forge, customs know how to spot forgeries pretty well by now. The big issue is that real SA passports are being issued by the gov with falsified info on it via briberies- not by some guy with a print press & a magnifying...

    South Africans aren’t bad drivers – They’re bad people

    Man that sucks so much. Had the same thing happen to us when I was a kid. Got smashed by an 18-wheeler and never got a cent out of the company to fix/replace our car. I wish the records system in SA was better so that you could claim a civil suit with wage-garnishing for idiots like this.

    South Africans aren’t bad drivers – They’re bad people

    Ugh. It's annoying right? As the saying goes "Don't be a nice driver, be a predictable driver." The arrogance that goes with "I'm going to teach them a lesson" is staggering. Why? You can't even take criticism from your family, but you think some random stranger is going to see the error in...

    Why domestic workers should be paid at least R40 an hour in South Africa

    I still don't understand why home-owners are considered employers, rather than customers. Especially in the instances where they clean more than 1 household. They're freelancers (unless they want to join a cleaning agency who then need to pay them accordingly). Most people I know pay their...

    South Africa wants to build a monster 2,500 MW nuclear power plant

    Koeberg is 2x970MW. Not sure how a 25% increase is "significantly bigger". Semantics aside, going nuclear is a good idea. Koeberg took 8 years to build. It'll be interesting to see how/if this goes.

    ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024

    I was legit impressed to hear that team USA clocked Pakistan. It reminded me of when they started playing in the Rugby world cup and their winger ran circles around Habana. Then (as with the wing who was from Zim), I noticed all the names in the US team and realized its SA & asian...

    ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024

    I'd love to watch a match live but there aren't any sports channels in Norway covering it at ALL. I was surprised that I managed to get a month's subscription on a channel that covered the rugby during last year's RWC. I did watch the 5min highlight reel on the official website and goodness...
