If you want to know what's coming to Australia

Just look at New Zealand

My wife is/was a Kiwi

She had her Australian Citizenship now

So I guess she's one of the 500,000 or so that have left their recently

And I think there's only 6M people in NZ so it's a sizable chunk

But it's kinda funny that Australia is now pretty much almost as big a basket base as NZ is

People are losing big dollars on housing over there right now. Huge falls

And all through the last 5 years they've basically been running about 18 months in front of us

Jacinta was a disaster there

Victoria has a Jacinta too

I reckon In a few years the Name Jacinta will be less Popular than Karen and that's saying something

I have been thinking though

If NZ property is down 30 percent

And the dollar is 16 percent Australia's way

It might even pay to buy some Property over there in the nicer rural parts

I wouldn't expect to get a job over there

But something to think about

And to all my Kiwi followers

You should have the confidence to build social media pages

No one over there does it

It's like a confidence thing

Or lack thereof

Can't understand what happened to NZ

It's like your all walking around with 330ml cans of beer instead of 375ml

And you just accept it

Hate to say it

But Elon solves FSD which he already appears to have done so

Everything changes in automotive

I'm actually a bit shocked other auto makers are not licensing the tech right now

The new Juniper Model Y has special high-resolution cameras older Teslas don’t have

Those cameras are what make it ready for real self-driving and future robotaxi work

Because of that, potentially a 5 year old car will be able to earn money in the future

Even a low estimate of robotaxi income adds up to thousands a year

This flips the maths — the “more expensive” new Tesla becomes cheaper long-term assuming it happens

And if an asset can make you cash just driving around, what's that worth?

I guess the only limitation is the number of passengers and where you place the vehicle

Buying a used Tesla might save money upfront but can’t earn robotaxi income later is a pretty dumb move particularly if the difference is 15k

We could be entering an age where buying a car is a cashflow positive exercise

Only problem is once AI has automated the jobs no one will be able to afford a car 😂

But you wont need one because nice Teslas will drive you round for close to nothing

I wouldn't want to be a cab driver

This will disrupt taxis, Uber, buses, parking, insurance, and the whole auto industry

It’s not just a car upgrade — it’s the beginning of a new transport economy

3 scenarios- 2020 Navara with 106,000km worth 27k- 2023 Tesla with 35,000km with 43k- 2023 Tesla with 110,000km worth 35...

3 scenarios

- 2020 Navara with 106,000km worth 27k
- 2023 Tesla with 35,000km with 43k
- 2023 Tesla with 110,000km worth 35k

Played out over 5 years travelling 22,500km

The Smart Choice:

KEEP THE NAVARA for $300 more total cost. Yes, the high-km Tesla is tempting with massive fuel savings, but 222,500 km on an EV is Russian roulette.

Your Navara at 218k km is still a proven diesel workhorse. The low-km Tesla ($42k) is actually the safest upgrade if you want to go electric at this usage level - it'll "only" have 147k km.

Real Talk: If you're doing 22,500 km/year long-term, buying a NEW EV would make sense. But both these used Teslas will be at sketchy high mileage in 5 years.

Stick with the Navara or buy new if you want electric.

Working class Diesel Utes after 5 years are one of the cheapest cars you can own, even with Fuel where it is.

Gotta be life in that.

Tesla Model Y Juniper - $65k NEW

Tesla Model Y 2024 - $46k USED (35k km)

GWM Cannon Alpha - $50k Diesel

BYD Shark 6 - $57k PHEV

📊 Victoria Cost Assumptions (15,000 km/year typical usage)

Navara ST ($38k): Diesel $2,800/yr (@$2.00/L, 9.5L/100km), Service $600/yr, Rego+TAC $950/yr, Insurance $1,100/yr

Hilux SR5 ($70k): Diesel $2,850/yr (@$2.00/L, 9.5L/100km), Service $750/yr, Rego+TAC $950/yr, Insurance $1,400/yr

Model Y Juniper NEW ($65k): Electricity $900/yr (@$0.33/kWh, 18kWh/100km SUV), Service $300/yr, Rego+TAC $750/yr, Insurance $1,300/yr

Model Y 2024 USED ($46k, 35k km): Same running costs as new, already depreciated $19k, starting point reflects used condition

GWM Cannon ($50k): Diesel $2,900/yr (@$2.00/L, 9.7L/100km), Service $700/yr, Rego+TAC $950/yr, Insurance $1,250/yr
BYD Shark 6 ($57k): Fuel+Elec $1,600/yr (mixed), Service $550/yr, Rego+TAC $950/yr, Insurance $1,350/yr

💰 The Verdict

Navara #1
Used Model Y surprisingly good #2
Navara wins overall at $60.6k. But the USED Tesla Model Y at $46k is only $7.2k more expensive over 8 years - proving buying a used EV with depreciation already taken is the smart play vs new!

🔴 Victoria Market Reality: "You Can't Make It Work" (Unless You Buy Used!)
Key Findings for Victorian Buyers:

• Cheapest: Navara ($60.6k) - budget diesel still king

• SURPRISE: Used 2024 Model Y ($67.8k) beats all diesel utes except Navara - only $900/yr more!

• NEW Model Y Juniper ($90k) is the WORST value - most expensive of all vehicles

• Buying a 1-year-old Tesla saves ~$22k in depreciation vs buying new - the math NOW works!

• New Tesla loses $7,500/yr in value vs Used Tesla losing $5,200/yr - that's a $2,300/yr difference

• For Victorian buyers: Never buy a new EV. Buy 1-2 years old with 30-40k km and let someone else take the depreciation hit.

It's absolutely crazy

I can hire literally a Cab driver to deliver cans for $1 each on Amazon Prime

But Coles wants $1.66 a can to pick it up

I feel bad making some bloke delivery my cans but I think I'll have to

Thanks Al Barbs

I just ordered 5 cartons to save him the effort of multiple Trips

Imagine having to deliver 5 x 36 cartons of coke for like $3 or whatever they get paid per delivery 😂

Bit of Beevornomics for you

If I get in the car go down to Coles and get a carton of Diet Coke it's $50

but if I jump on U&ber Eats - and order 2L of Coke and 10 aluminum cans with Excise applied it's $55 delivered ,

And that includes the Bozo to go buy it for me

Coles really is a sinking ship

Dunno how accurate this is, but I believe it is accurate. I checked it out on Grok

It's the value of Natural Resources where the Ruskies

Apparently there is more more unrealised resource wealth their than the rest of Eastern Europe combined ....

Imagine being a young person

First thing the Govt wants you to do is spend 50k on a degree

That for a large number of people leads to no Job

Then you need 700,000 to buy an Apartment

That doesn't have any provision for an Electric Charger

But to save the Environment the Government wants you to spend 60k on an EV

To save money on Petrol

But only if you can afford a 1.5M house to fit a Charger too

But because of Climate Change you need to spend another 10k on Solar

Because they're paying 10k to raise your price

Then you go to work

And can't get a promotion unless your diverse enough

And if you do manage to climb the ladder sufficiently to be successful

They tax you to oblivion anyway

And if you just give up and ride an electric scooter you'll receive the full force of the law

But if go down to Westfield waving the things around nothing happens to you

Makes you want to go find a paddock in the middle of no where and give up 😂

Few times now I've been driving around

In the city and the country --

And a bunch of kids like a crew has hooned around on one of these eBikes. I've seen Petrol Mini Bikes too

Seems to be the latest ratbag trend

I see it no differently than Skateboarding, or roller blading or even scooters in the early days.

But they look more confronting cause they're motorized and appear like motorcycles

Initially I thought - wow that's brazen

Then I started to think about the world our kids live in now

Absolutely everything is policed and risk managed

They can't say, or do anything without getting into trouble

And you just wonder if this 'sport' is like a Glitch in the Matrix

The kids that are brazenly dismissing the Boomers and their hopeless kids

I know some of the kids doing this are drop kicks

But they might be societies last hope

I guess their philosophy is - the police won't chase them

And even if they do they can't catch them all

And if your caught - they won't do anything to you anyway

Because the courts are all Karen's anyway

Id rather this than them walking around Westfield TBH

Hey what if Elon comes to Melbourne with his Boring company machines

And just builds a tunnel from the top of Sydney Road Coburg to the city popping in and out with these cars that carry 20 people comfortably?

What happens to Yarra Trams?

He could run the operation 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. Completely autonomous no need for drivers or anything.

What does that do to the $100-$200-$300B? We're spending

Elon reckons his are 10M a mile

And before you bite he just surpassed 5M rides in Las Vegas.

A real place.
