I will trade in my Model Y for a Juniper refresh as soon as it is available. Tesla regains global BEV crown over BYD in Q1

@Vostok What is really surprising about your graph is the bit that is missing! If I am reading it correctly, your PW lost about 20% capacity in the first 30 months and about 6% in the second 30 months?

I haven't recorded full pack energy regularly but from 2 readings and assuming original capacity of 14,000 in October 2020 I see about 4% degradation in 40 months down to 13,424 now. Annual degradation in the first two years 1.19% and 1.35% in the last year. Assuming the annual increase in the...

I will need new tyres for my Model Y soon, so I wondered which one you went for and if you are happy with them?

Finally got this all set up and configured the PW to export everything. Exported about 4.7kWh during the saving session today (17:30-18:30), so about £10 worth of Octopoints at a net rate of about £2.15. Not bad for the first outing. Impressed that all I have to do is set the export rate for the...

I contacted UKPN, they responded very quickly, were very helpful, and have agreed to increase the export limit from 6.5kW to 8.5kW without an engineer visit. Total solar is 6.5kW and 0kW was assumed for the PW, I requested a total of 11.5kW but UKPN explained that due to the size of the cabling...

The first option runs the risk of using peak electricity if the battery is not charged sufficiently during the day to last until off peak. The risk varies according to time of year and weather.

I am in a similar situation and have the same question. I contacted my installer but they are not being particularly helpful and wondering if a call to UKPN (in my case) is worth a try.

We can only look on in amazement in the UK, no Cybertruck for us, apart from MIC 3 & Y all we get is S & X with steering wheels on the wrong side.

I thought I saw a gear selector in the overhead console?

This "they will sell all vehicles they make take is moronic" is moronic. First, EV truck is a niche product, second Cybertruck is a niche of that niche, third reading between the lines of Tesla statements about CT it seems that the steel body manufacturing will be very hard to scale...

For some time to come, Tesla will sell all the Cybertrucks that they can make and there will still be a queue.

Polestar 4 looks very interesting, I was intending to trade in my Model Y for a Juniper Model Y in 2024, if it reaches the UK by then, but this looks like it could be a tempting alternative.

When I bought my first Tesla, my judgement was that useable Tesla FSD would not arrive in the UK within 3 years and decided therefore not to add it to my order. When I traded in nearly 3 years later I made the same decision again, and would probably come to the same conclusion today. I was...
