Default Re: so far
Yes. We could use the past tense, or present perfect. Your question really is, what meaning/information are we conveying to the listener that we would use one or the other? What context would we be using one or the other?

What meaning/what is implied when someone says:
"This electrical appliances are untested so far."

and when they phrase it:
"These electrical appliances have not been tested so far." ?

Anyone?
