I put an NFC tag under the flap with a Home Assistant automation to send unlock command.

Many years ago I was with a colleague and he put the postcode of the address supplied into his car satnav and off we went. He began to question the area since he knew it well and it didn't seem right. This was confirmed when we duly arrived at the Royal Mail Sorting Office and then it clicked...

Just found this, I don't know if this has changed since the date? from planning long trips - from web to car and multiple legs

It has always been the same for me, only the first waypoint.

Just a bad experience many years ago. Harwich to Hook of Holland. I found the whole check-in, then do nothing for 2 hours, then 9 hour crossing with an inside cabin=seasickness. Then on arrival another 2 hours before we got off. That was the good crossing. The other way took an additional hour...

Thanks, I was looking at the price of the ferry the other night (itching for another trip!), I just threw some September dates in and about £1000. For the off peak LeShuttle, that's about £250. I can get a lot of supercharger miles across France and another sub £30 hotel "room" and change. My...

That's all we had. We travelled down on a Friday after work (no charge stops) to Calais and stayed at a hotel on the Calais side with superchargers. Arriving around midnight, that allowed us to charge up ready for an immediate trip start in France. The last time we did it we stayed on the UK...

Yes, we want to do Norway but I figured i'd wait until I replace the tyres then go for some winter rated all season for that trip. Also want to do Spain for which I think we'd do the ferry down to Santander or Bilaou (i'm not a great ferry fan) but then come back via France and LeShuttle. That...

Unfortunately not. The mountain tunnel train that bypassed the Furka pass started for us at Kandersteg if that helps? This link may help someone, one day to check the status https://www.alpen-paesse.ch/en/

Just got back from our trip to Lake Como. My plan was to go via one of Furka Pass but the owner of the Airbnb that we stayed at in Switzerland said "Oh, we've recently had lots of snow, lets check..." CLOSED! Instead we went via Simplon Pass and the car train through the mountain before it...

Yeah I know, I had a look on Sentry view on the phone. Given that I haven't yet got the Spring update, i'm just whinging about something else that I haven't got ;) In my actual case here, a front bumper camera wouldn't be much use either as it's not the front but the front quarters/wheels that...

Randomly responding to this one, right now I don't just want the rear facing cameras visible, I want the front facing pilar ones on the screen. We're at an AirBnb in Italy with very challenging parking. Precipice to one side, low stone wall the other, it's on a steep incline so going up, I...

Breaking News: Liverpool Council renews their lifetime subscription to Daily Mail.

Hmm, gives me an idea to take some line marking paint such that when the parking does arrive, I can first park up, then jump out and go and paint some decent lines for the car to figure out how to spend the next 5 minutes self parking. :)

Wait are you saying Elon doesn't know how important *I* am?! :D All i'm saying is that I don't understand all the excitement about a big rendering of the car in the display, it doesn't do anything as to how the car improves when driving. The visualisations, yes but they are just that, nothing...
