A few days ago I was discussing relative salary differentials with my Idaho friend over a beer & he cited a DPD driver he knows who is earning well over $150k pa (including some overtime but 'basic' accounts for nearly $100k). Salaries are well up compared to the UK & this isn't typical but I...

Exactly my experience this week in Idaho as a passenger in a friends Model Y LR using FSD Beta v12. Very impressive and completely autonomous including junctions, lane changes, turns, lights and even a roundabout, all 'city street' driving. Apart from US required steering wheel torque (much...

On my car the wipers always behave perfectly but rain, mist, spray or certain lighting conditions do not conform. Will the Met Office ever fix this?

I have received a message from another forum member where he received the same exemplary service from Fylde Coast (because the third party paid for the repair they did not wish to post in case their own insurance company became aware). ...I might also add that several days after receiving the...

I’m not so sure, every road was on the standard US grid system & all lanes were very wide. Part of the route included a roundabout near my Daughters house and it stopped then proceeded across (nothing else around at that point though). Waiting at lights/junctions in the appropriate lane and...

Oh, I missed that, I'm in the USA at the moment with grandkids so not really keeping up with things. (....though I did have a very impressive journey through the city two nights ago in a friends FSD v12 Beta Model Y. I stepped into the car on my Daughters drive and it literally drove us several...

I will be disabling this feature - my Zappi is directly behind the boot and I have no desire for it to randomly open when I stand there. Pressing the release button is fine by me.

I see you are in Idaho & I'm currently vacationing in Boise where electricity is a flat rate of 8c/kWh. At todays exchange rate that = 6.5 pence/kWh. One of the lowest UK EV overnight tariffs gives 7.5 p/kWh but typically around 20-30p/kWh for most others including daytime rates (~9.5c to...

That looks rather ambiguous to me. It doesn't show current occupancy and only records Telas en route that are preconditioning/using the SuC as a destination. Some of us (maybe only me?) prefer to navigate to the address/postcode rather than to the SuC itself.

@spdpsba - I take the M6-A14 regularly and generally use (basic) AP for the whole route. I agree that this journey in the Model Y is more relaxing than it used to be in my former Model 3. Departing from either home or the destination near Bury St Edmunds at 100% SOC & setting AP to between...

No restrictions at Hilton Park, Trentham Gardens or Rugby, I use these when travelling on the M6. Hilton has the older 150kWh SuCs.

I can confirm that the Toll booths used to be manned, it’s imprinted on my mind…. On one occasion I had to stretch rather too far from the side window to reach the card reader slot at one of the automated gates, however a very strong wind snatched the card away from my finger tips. It flew off...

Another alternative is Trentham Gardens (18 SuCs), just off the M6. I prefer to use this rather than Keele, they are less than 5 miles apart.

This has been there for a while, useful to confirm that LTE or WiFi are connected rather than having to open a separate menu.

I also received the disconnect-reconnect email prompt yesterday. It worked OK but the test charge lasted nearer 20 minutes, taken from the panels & house batteries (which were at 100% via solar so no cost - two 3.6kWh inverters with individual panels/batteries). As it's always done IOG charged...
