In 2023, quotes have gone up 20% across the board for all cars I think: Has car insurance gone up 2023? For my own quote, that means there's still another 50% to account for. Maybe Tesla 3Ps get in more wrecks due to the awesome acceleration and insurance companies are only just catching onto that.

In England. Last year's was about £350, this year's over £600. No incident or anything added to the policy since. Used comparethemarket.com etc. and that was the best I found. Anyone else had a similar experience or just me?

Ah I wasn't referring to the first nudge of a journey, but rather every single indicator nudge. I think you thought I was originally referring to the former. Bear in my response was to your comment "Couldn't reproduce your error. Even from cold, the turn signal works for me."

@metroplex Which Model 3 year do you have? Try the quickest nudge of your hand you can and as short a distance as you can (whilst making sure the lever is nudged into its new position). Pretend you're trying to jerk the motion.

I can confirm I also have this flaw in my 2019 Model 3. It's actually probably created plenty of frustration without me even noticing what was wrong particularly. Not only is being too quick with the indicator stalk not recognized, but trying to CANCEL the current turning indication will also...

Because of the high hole/gap to material ratio of the aforementioned wire mesh, the effect on the air flow (let alone the motor) is negligible, so you shouldn't have to worry about that at all. Even if by some chance you do wish to install a heavy duty HEPA filter in the air intake (frunk...

FWIW, I went for this one. They're probably all the same, and this one's a few more quid than some of them, but assuming we can trust Aliexpress's system, it has a high number of ratings and high score (4.8). I wonder if there's something like reviewmeta or fakespot, but for Aliexpress instead...

The hole to plastic ratio is poor with your product (guessing 1:6). You want some kind of aluminum or stainless steel mesh so that more air is let through than blocked. Not sure about the best size of the holes, but maybe anti-bug-size is the best way to go (yours on the left, bugscreen mesh on...

There's quite a few candidates available from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-water-strip-model-3.html Not really sure what sort of things I should be looking for to get the best quality. What would you recommend is the best one for my 2019 Model 3?

How easy btw would it be to get a photo of the motor cog itself? How long would I be tearing up the car to fit a camera in there considering I have little experience with doing this sort of thing? If I could somehow record the faster cog turning (which in turn drives a slower rotating cog...

I'll be interested to reproduce both your problems with the turn signal. I've been frustrated on occasion with the turn signal, and it wouldn't surprise me if this bug is what's causing the subconscious irritation.

Thanks. If I buy the Farmogo, is the deflector definitely a necessary purchase too, or do you think the light-weight filter will dry out quickly after aircon usage, even if it does get a bit damp due to the rain sometimes?

Has anyone had their aircon / ventilation system fail as a result of installing one of these intake filters? I'm thinking of installing the more 'lite' Farmogo filter which claims around 90% air flow.

Right, I think the throttle has a near direct connection to the motor which bypasses the main infotainment computer, otherwise the car would be inoperable if the screen crashed during driving! And then you get the nitrous hit :D

Right, it does indeed appear I have the older CPU - the Intel Atom. Looks like the newer Ryzen is snappier. Interesting. I'd love to see a comparison for both these CPUs against each other.
