Or wait three years and pick one up for 2 guppy fins and a banana seed..

My S will charge at 21miles range per hour on AC so ten mins is 3.5 miles or not much more than 1%. All that's academic. On the route I was using there wasn't an AC alternate without diverting a few miles so the choice was baby the car and see how much savings could be made and dive to an...

I had a spontaneous DC charger failure a couple of years ago that needed a service centre visit to fix. Again I only found out by trying to charge to top up for return journey and again managed to limp it home where a charging worked. 50mph on the motorway is scary since you're right in there...

The £13..3 is the 20% profit needing a gross take (ex vat) of £66.6 to get it.

Someone prepared to pay the M6 toll...must be a business deductable. Indeed little other reason to go to Manchester..😁 My math...toll charge £8(ish) so after tax when not business @40%= £13.3. my business ran at 20% profitability so £66.6+vat=£80 I had to take off a customer to pay that...

I always carry cleaning stuff and a thermos on any decent journey. Wi-fi should be s no-brainer if only so Tesla can keep track of their charging kit via starlink with enough spare bandwidth for customers. But they want you to buy phone upgrades so where is the incentive?

It all still remains weird. Driver panic etc is easy to understand but the original article states 25 minutes to police bringing car to a halt (quicker response than needing an emergency ambulance for a sick relative 😈). Surely enough time for even the most panicked driver to have figured things...

The example quoted needing as much as 175lbs pressure on the brake on the Toyota. We don't know whether the Ipace would need more or less than that but it's substantial especially if needed for some time to bring the car to a halt plus likely an EV will have a more powerful motor. Many people...

I don't think I'd totally dismiss the drivers version although there may be other factors. I've never been in the I-Pace but had to abandon a test drive of the e-pace my wife fancied because my size 14 feet got wedged under the pedal area making it very difficult to go from accelerator to brake...

Dante gasped when I scored two dozen decodes that <s>

There's a lot of great 4 digit numbers. 1066, 1492, 1665, 1812, 1418, 1939, 4711, 2512, 2001 etc I used to reset the alarm code whenever an employee left and tried to make it easy to remember the new one. Every other or every third digit of a phone number, or an old house number XY(X+!)(Y+1) f'r...

I'd try opening and closing the boot a few times in case the sensor there has gone funny. Coincidentally I used my Qashqai yesterday to go shopping (need to use it regularly to keep battery etc functional) and on way home the alarms started but at least it showed the boot as open. It was...

Except that depends on a leccy supply. Not much use in an outage

I suppose it's expected that in a Tesla forum the fan base would be glowing. Remember the story of the fox that lost his tail and tried to persuade all the other foxes of the benefit of being tailless? It's why I threw in my few pence in similar vein. I live very rurally and keep 200L red diesel...

But the world has moved on! The auto box just needs you to use the brake to stay stationary for short times. This is the same sort of improvements that happened along with no further need for a flag man in front or starting with a handle, hand signals, hammering the b pillar to rattle the little...
