I'm aged and solo now so rear passengers aren't a likely scenario. Of all the manufacturers Toyota are best at providing leg room for drivers. No probs when I had the gt86 and I could squeeze that anywhere. It just wasn't much good in snow..indeed the only car I've ever abandoned and walked home...

I did say me being cramped in a 3. I'm over 6ft7 and I like cars with lots of elbow room not high centre consoles. No-one is ever comfortable in the seat behind me.

Different strokes. I find my S comfortable but wouldn't consider being cramped in a 3 or drive a fugly Y and I certainly wouldn't go stalkless. Nor does the Tesla service ethos suit me - back when I got my S it was superb. I'll probably run it into the ground and then it depends..if the current...

It's because they're about to release their new solar-powered hydrogen generators for the new fleet of lidar controlled H2akneycabs...

Irrational media hype. The hospital didn't ban EV's ..just from that car park on fire brigade advice. Statistics of fossil:EV fires are only one part of the story. The other aspect is the difficulty of handling them if they do happen. A sprinkler system must be a good start if only to stop fires...

Or wait three years and pick one up for 2 guppy fins and a banana seed..

My S will charge at 21miles range per hour on AC so ten mins is 3.5 miles or not much more than 1%. All that's academic. On the route I was using there wasn't an AC alternate without diverting a few miles so the choice was baby the car and see how much savings could be made and dive to an...

I had a spontaneous DC charger failure a couple of years ago that needed a service centre visit to fix. Again I only found out by trying to charge to top up for return journey and again managed to limp it home where a charging worked. 50mph on the motorway is scary since you're right in there...

The £13..3 is the 20% profit needing a gross take (ex vat) of £66.6 to get it.

Someone prepared to pay the M6 toll...must be a business deductable. Indeed little other reason to go to Manchester..😁 My math...toll charge £8(ish) so after tax when not business @40%= £13.3. my business ran at 20% profitability so £66.6+vat=£80 I had to take off a customer to pay that...

I always carry cleaning stuff and a thermos on any decent journey. Wi-fi should be s no-brainer if only so Tesla can keep track of their charging kit via starlink with enough spare bandwidth for customers. But they want you to buy phone upgrades so where is the incentive?

It all still remains weird. Driver panic etc is easy to understand but the original article states 25 minutes to police bringing car to a halt (quicker response than needing an emergency ambulance for a sick relative 😈). Surely enough time for even the most panicked driver to have figured things...

The example quoted needing as much as 175lbs pressure on the brake on the Toyota. We don't know whether the Ipace would need more or less than that but it's substantial especially if needed for some time to bring the car to a halt plus likely an EV will have a more powerful motor. Many people...

I don't think I'd totally dismiss the drivers version although there may be other factors. I've never been in the I-Pace but had to abandon a test drive of the e-pace my wife fancied because my size 14 feet got wedged under the pedal area making it very difficult to go from accelerator to brake...

Dante gasped when I scored two dozen decodes that <s>
