    The year is 2035. How far have we got?

    Only request I would have is that the very first Nuke hits the houses of parliament on a Wednesday around noon - and bask in the glory of seeing them F*****d before me.

    The year is 2035. How far have we got?

    I really think @PITA is on the money with his analysis. I think by 2035 Tesla wont be in existence or its limping along supported by another company keeping the Tesla name - like Jaguar Land Rover has done for the last 30 years or so.

    Tap to park coming out

    I've seen video of v12 in the USA with FSD - impressive. The video posted here of Xiaomi is also remarkable. I know in the UK we are a bit behind and I really don't expect to ever have the degree of autonomy I see in these videos - not ever, but, my car cant travel a single mile on a quiet...

    Tap to park coming out

    The only tapping Tesla will do auto parking is tapping the cars your trying to park between, It sounds like a cut down version of Electric Jesus claim you get out your car, tell it to park and off it trots to find a space somewhere. If Musk says it you know its a lie.

    Thinking of selling

    I retired in 2011 at almost 56, now 68, My M3P reached 4 years old on the 17th this month, like us all - we have lost a fair bit in depreciation - but only if you sell it. If the car is good why worry about what ifs? Warranty isn't the be all and end all - you still have all the protections of...

    ASS in the UK

    Oh I agree with you, Its mainly just because I can, It takes maybe 20 odd seconds for the car to respond to holding the forward arrow, My watch - all i need to do to launch Siri is double clench my fist - then speak the command. Its a case of simple things simple minds.

    ASS in the UK

    My use of Summon. Whenever i go shopping i tend to always find a parking spot on the perimeter of the car park and a space where another car could only park to one side of mine - so an end spot. I always reverse into any parking spot - just something I have always done. Perimeters tend to have...

    Renew your EV Road Tax

    So, after taxing my car a week or so ago with the reminder I decided to log on again and tax it using the logbook, What a simple process, ticked No to the question "do you have a reminder". Put the reg num in and the V5 number and it states Tax will start from March 1st - but stated the car was...

    Renew your EV Road Tax

    My tax is due end of this month, I re-taxed it using the reminder online, The confirmation confirms my tax starts from 1st April, so perhaps the way to do it is not use the reminder letter? - and tax it as if a newly acquired vehicle. For me, i think i will SORN my car in March next year - then...

    2024 Insurance Costs

    Its all a game driven by greed with copious amounts of subterfuge and semantics plus a good dose of insurers discriminating by ignoring the Equalities Act. A computer calculates premiums based on an algorithm and staff selling the policies are kept in the dark how it all works on a "they don't...

    Sudden loss of heating

    Your USA and in dollars, the issue was with the heat pump - so not resistive element, its like comparing Apples with Pears.

    My experience taking Tesla to court about FSD

    Totally agree with your comments. The one thing that Tesla settling eventually would suggest is they have no reasonable expectation FSD will ever work in the UK in the foreseeable future, and it makes sense not to settle until the customer has put quite a bit of effort into pursuing their claim...

    Corrosion

    The car is very low to the ground and wide tyres - of course this combination will throw road debris backwards and will make contact with bodywork, now given road debris includes little stones - especially around road repairs they behave like a very coarse sandpaper - or probably better...

    Model X half shaft question

    If the shafts are covered by warranty then I would simply let Tesla replace them and hope the issue has been resolved by redesign. You will always have the option to go aftermarket when the warranty ends if the replacement shafts fail again. There isn't anything unique about half shafts and CV...

    Model 3 maintenance

    My car is coming up to 4 yrs old - just last week took it for its second MOT - 1 month early - no problems. no advisories, and more importantly not a single fault since new. This Spring/Summer i intend to do a complete brake service, clean and lubricate because they have never been touched, the...
