Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


Cars are way overpriced in Poland,Tesla Model S costs around 360K Pln plus 23% VAT,while here it costs 74K$ plus almost 7% Sales tax.I would never buy a car in Poland and have always took them from States,costs only 800$ to ship them and they are there in 4/5 weeks,plus the fun of driving with American plates gets you out of the eastern borders quick then waiting for miles long lines.


Here is the map of super charging stations in Poland

Dont forget you can charge from a regular outlet also with there extension cords.BTW Konin has 15 charging stations.

Food / What Polish foods and brands do you miss when you go to other countries? [216]

Very true,I always wondered why it tastes so different and chewy even in Polish restaurants.

Too expensive in Warsaw,ever consider Karta Miejska?lol costs me 98Pln a month,and I dont have to look or pay for parking,gas,insurance etc and can drink alcohol anytime anywhere I want.Public transportation is very convenient in Warsaw/Poland,Unlike some English teachers take use of cars as a status symbol.

News / Polish People STILL denied US Entry [96]


Poles get ESTA approval to travel,and are again scrutinized when entering the plane and advised if they will be refused entry.The CBP guard usually refuses entry if there has been serious mistake committed or the person has been unruly.For Poles who are refused entry are mostly the cases that they have already overstayed previously or have comitted a crime and coming back on a new passport.remember they have all the records from decades as one of my family members overstayed like most Poles did in 80s and tried to come back to visit her son in 2000s was issued visa but refused entry.Example of that again is when one of my relatives applied for citizenship he was asked to write about all the dates he left the country and came back in,and he didnt remember that,so his lawyer had to write to CBP and it provided every single date for the last 20 odd years of his departure and arrival (for a fee) for citizenship application.

That is for every visa waiver country.

lol only good thing I see in this is at least he didnt shoot anyone while being drunk like our Dick did.Similarities do exit though as Rafal supports LGBT and Cheney has lesbian daughters and both are politicians.

That is not an excuse,One never tries to get laid with his mom,daughter or sis when drunk.

The SUMMON feature now is only limited in a parking lot,but they are working on it and updates are almost every month.I think another 5/10 years they might achieve that.

where did you get that news of Rafał Kazimierz Trzaskowski was drunk?No wonder he lost to Duda and is a big supporter of homosexuals.

But drunk Polish politicians is not new,cpl years back drunk Polish politician created a circus in a plane and had to be arrested travelling on an international flight.Thx God they were not coming to the USA or maybe be deported.

YUP! still happens,these buggers should download Tesla app and maybe check themselves(I dont remember what number it requires for access),but I am waiting for my cyber trucks.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


I will agree with you there as the big gas companies are still signing ground leases or with private gas station owners for 30 to 50 years,so they I am sure know better about the future.Also I see ship loads of cars being imported,and most cars have life span of over 20 years now.I drive by Newark port sometimes and see the car parks with thousands of newly imported cars in the lots.


Maybe or maybe not but Tesla certainly is leading in that technology now.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


Not really,if the roads are all well marked then not at all.Have you driven a tesla with Summon feature that also finds a parking and comes to you with your cell fone commands(within limited distance)?Yes now Tesla made it mandatory to have your hand on the steering handel(for legal reasons I guess) to drive under full self driving mode(lol and you can snore while its on).If the roads are paved and signs posted Tesla did a good job already.They upgrade almost every month sometimes couple of times.


That is more then an average driver does.almost 25k miles a year is a lot,hope you dont lease a car with mileage,I dont know how leasing a car works in Poland as most business people do that usually I think.I do around 12k average a year after staying almost 6 months out of the country & in Poland not even 2000KM a year. but we use my car for long trips to kids.My wife just puts 6k miles and kids put under 10k a year.


I dont understand that myself.The batteries will outlast the car and the census say most batteries have problems if changed.Guess it needs more research in that area.

lol thats why we always buy AWD cars,my first priority.They good for NJ weather and no screeching of wheels.I guess you like those spinning wheels for front/rear drive cars showing muscle.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


I did too until I bought tesla,it takes around a month to get use to the no dash board with meters and lights etc and just a big screen.But when you come back to gas cars it feels like you have come back to stone age.Matter of getting use to,I cant wait for cyber truck to come out.I booked 2 for us.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


Hybrids yet are not fully electric.The electric motor kicks in when you are cruising.We never paid attention about the consumption but was very quiet car.One has to get use to it when you start it,always had problems with valet parking as those guys would keep on turning the ignition.We had Toyota Highlander 2006 AWD and changed it in 2011.Never had problem drove around 80k miles.And there was no subsidy from the govt for hybrids.I think they were on all full LPG/Propane and electric vehicles,depending on the State.I did get around 7k tax rebate when I bought tesla though but that was for a first number of cars and is also gone now.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


We have owned a hybrid,not much of a difference economically and only after driving over 75k miles in the city(If you still own it).It only helps if driving on cruise in new cars.


Me too,heard Musk is going to do something big that day.

Not that early JR.They are still selling gas cars which last over 20 years and will be selling them for another 10 years at least.The big gas stations like Exxon,Shell,Sheetz and WAWA etc around me are still signing 50 year leases and yes they do want to have electric stations built also.But total eradication of gas cars is no where in sight.

Honestly NOPE,You are allowed to travel with 10K euros undeclared and you can buy for that around 4/5 ounce biscuits with current price and bring them back to Poland legally without declaring for personal use.I have never been to Dubai but if I get a chance I will,but too scared to go to that part of the world.LOL and they will fit in your wallet.

They are not cheap any more,Once I was looking for one and they were really expensive so I fulfilled my classic car desire by bringing Maluch 126P,which I havent driven for over 8 years.But was fun driving that with Polish plates in the USA for 5/6 months.

Lil bit late to add,I heard Dubai is the place to buy gold where the premium is only 5$ and there are vending machines all over the place including the airport.Also I heard in London the Indian place in South Hall also they sell for 25 Pounds an ounce premium.

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]

I think he meant physical gold.
@Dolno:Yes in Poland they charge 7% more then the spot price,I buy in NY where they charge 45$ per ounce to buy or sell.Price differs around 5$ between the brands like Canadian Maple leaf,Credit swisse and American eagle gold biscuits & Bricks.

In Poland the cheapest I could find for 5% surcharge from a Polish mint in Warsaw.I forgot to ask them if they would add VAT on top of it.I would never buy it in Poland.
