Electric Vehicles etc

@Oddjob same monthly dollars. Leasing viability really depends on the deal. Go in with open eyes and compare to conventional finance. Toyota were great for me because I could load up maintenance which helped bring pre-tax $ down and then were very liberal with spending that. My M2 got coilovers at the end of the lease etc. A mate who used a finance based group had to hold the excess $ until the end and take it back as cash for which tax was payable.

The no fringe benefit tax on EVs makes novated leasing a no brainer, compared to finance IMO.

My brother has just been through the same thing, just be mindful the lease companies are sharks and do everything possible to hide the true calculations.

Fisker Alaska looks cool, at least it’s sensibly sized. I don’t trust fisker to be around long enough for it to get made and delivered. Has access to the tray via the rear seats, which I think more utes should have.

Lease seems to be padded with much insurance product.

You can, and should, remove all that crap.
You can also source your own insurance and have that budgeted for.

12.5% versus 5.9 %

Yes BUT tyres, rego, servicing, insurance all tax free.

Thanks for sharing that one Haakers, that was genuinely an excellent video. Before watching - I didn't know cells had PRVs incorporated, or that their failure is something that can cause a cell runaway event, or about the speed of the temperature increase in a thermal runaway, and, and, and...

Likewise with the Alpha Wolf - love the look and approach and size... but more than vaguely dubious they will come to fruition.

Looks strangely like an RC Car.

I thought the exact same thing!

Looks strangely like an RC Car.

That's because it's a scale model of the Alpha Wolf. Probably.
