Why on earth would Ionity cut their price when outside of Tesla they’re already cheaper than the competition?

I looked for this tonight on my drive down to work and it definitely biases away from HGVs. Quite subtle though. Only one attempt to stamp on the brakes and this was caused by the moron in the lane next to me using FaceTime on his phone.

The rules apply to drivers too and the authorities don't seem too bothered about them being bent slightly by humans.

Has anyone noticed this on 2024.14? Sentry Mode is coming on at home and work, even though they’re excluded in the settings.

Yep. Even with the updated maps. Overall I’m pretty impressed with this update on my Atom Model 3. It’s noticeably smoother and Netflix is now useable again. The extra visualisations for other vehicles are interesting (though I’d not show oncoming traffic on the motorway by choice because it’s...

yes, first time ever that Autopilot managed the M1/M25 junction without screwing it up.

I quite like the regen / power bar. The lack of one in the Mach-E really annoyed me when I had one for the weekend. Not mentioned yet but a lot of new stuff in the service mode pages, including a new change-log separate from the normal car one. Also new navigation data downloading as I write.

Got it on my Intel Atom Model 3 today. Apart from the new UI all the advertised features seem to be there. Shame Audible doesn’t work in the UK though (the login QR code redirects you to Amazon.com instead of Amazon.co.uk). Unless anyone knows another way to sign in?

If anyone knows that they're going to be selling on a 2019 or newer Model S Long Range (100D?) over the next three months, please let me know before you hand over commission to We Buy Any Car or similar. Max 60,000 miles. My salary sacrifice Model 3 is due to go back to the big dealership in the...

Yeah, I find EAP useful (although I think it’s a rip-off for what it does), but second-hand FSD is basically a lottery ticket and should probably be priced the same.

For those who sold their Tesla privately:- If you paid for FSD or EAP when you bought the car, do you think you got any of that money back when you sold it? I'm actually scouting around for a used Model 3 and would quite like EAP, but would probably pay a smidgen more for FSD at this point on...

I've decided to just buy a used Model 3 when the lease is up in September. Even with salary sacrifice I'm not prepared to pay for more than the entire cost of the car and then give it back to the leasing company to sell on. Used Model 3 with Ryzen and OK mileage is about 26K.

I've only had Intelligent Octopus fail to charge once, but a backup is to always set the charge schedule in the car to start charging at 23:30 when at home. If IO needs to add extra charge slots it'll override this, and if not you'll get at least six hours of electricity into the tank.

They’ve objected to every proposed large-scale battery installation on safety grounds.

Arguably the problem here is the fire service giving dodgy advice. The hospital doesn’t really have a choice as they’d be in an indefensible position if something did happen. The fire service has a history of being anti EV. They’ve objected to battery installations all over the country on...
