Well I couldn’t afford a Cyberster so I recycled an MX5 😎 MYLR and MX5 make a compelling 2 car fleet…..

Just had my Admiral renewal through and it’s £8 less than last year. MYLR mid 40’s in the North West. £490 10k miles with business use. I think for the performance on offer that’s reasonable and I’m grateful Admiral continue to offer competitive and sensible premiums for EVs.

They responded via X last night and I’m satisfied I’m not billed incorrectly. Normally I see a monthly bill but this one covers Apr & May. My balance remains correct and it’s an anomaly as to why it’s for twice my normal period. Phew! 😮‍💨

Anyone else’s Octopus app showing double billing and double charges? I’ve queried it on X and emailed them too.

Fear not. You are not alone in your outdated and obsolete software woes…..

Looks like Tesla have been using LR NCA batteries software locked to limit range in the USA. So the China built LFPs are not going to see this happen. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2024-us-model-y-rwd-battery-type-and-size.320253/

Don’t US models use different batteries? I’m not 100% sure. But that could mean the option of extended range can’t be unlocked for China built cars.

Paying a premium for stalks? 🤣

Summer commuting I do. I’m a little paranoid the intense heat might make the interior peel itself apart 😬 (see steering wheel woes of many owners). But I don’t use AC and wouldn’t use it on a trip. Pottering to work it’s no drama, given I can lose a few % without issue. I’ve just “invested in a...

If you’re parking in the shade turn off cabin overheat, particularly if you’ve got the AC selected. As GRiLLA says, turn off sentry and don’t be tempted to check the app. You’ll lose a few percent at worst.

No I think you can expand and reduce the visualisation from what I’ve seen online.

Even wireless technology could do with Tesla seamless integration. Knowing which stalls are in use and which cars are headed to the site etc Having ownership to me seems like a no brainer.

It’s certainly a large risk area for Tesla to sack the entire team that provides a USP that has drawn in so many customers. Anytime I road trip it reminds me that this is a Key USP. The ongoing maintenance of the network appears vital to Tesla’s future, indeed its expansion would appear just as...

Not all Ioniq 5s are born equal 🤣
