77kWh battery, 316m WLTP on RWD, 276 on AWD. 10-80 in. 10%-80% in 38 mins RWD is a little faster than a M3 LR RWD, which will do 396 WLTP, 10%-80% in 27 mins AWD is slower than the new M3 Perf, 316 WLTP, 10%-80% in 27 mins So, charges slow and uses that charge inefficiently. Can't say I like...

I've heard a lot of negative comments towards the RAC on these forums, far more than the AA.

As I read it, basically they're abandoning the unboxed build process (Tesla's Radical "Unboxed" Manufacturing Technique Could Reduce Costs by 50% - Core77 provides a reasonable explanation) and going with traditional assembly, which will require less retooling. I don't read it as the "model 2"...

China is pushing EVs *hard* in Australia.

I'll add that preconditioning from cold will eat 5-10% of the battery, plus the mileage to drive to the supercharger. Unless you have plans to move shortly, get a proper charger in

Yup, competition is really heating up in China, and Telsa prices are dropping as a result. In the UK they're, at best, testing the market. Hence Tesla are keeping prices high. Battery chemistry and soforth, buyers will likely look at the WLTP and maybe the idealised 10-80 charge speed. On...

Let's take the Dolphin, Europe seems to be €28,990 inc VAT, that's £25k vs £30.2 for UK. They're 11k in China. The Seal AWD excellence is basically the same price as a model 3 long range, with a larger pack which doesn't manage the same range because it's not particularly efficient and...

I blame BYD for trying to milk the UK market. The Seal, Dolphin and Atto are outrageously priced in the UK, they're not competition for Tesla, so Tesla haven't dropped their prices. The price drops elsewhere are down to competitors providing competitive offerings, and at the moment that's only...

Also turned off, it's just too invasive. Occasionally I miss a turn as a result, but I'd still rather that... I'd like it to make a dong noise when something is coming up

I think "where you're standing" and "intent" are different things. Obviously this is easier with USS, if USS tripped and keys, turn on camera and see if someone is looking at the camera. But anyway :) If you've got the optional Tesla key, you can double press on the front of the "toy car" and...

On the boot kick, wonder if they're using the rear camera too?... Looking forward to Audible. Very limited excitement around the UI changes, even if I do have Ryzen

Out of interest, is your car 12v Lead Acid or 16v Lipo? I wonder if the Lipo batteries have a lower capacity which mean the LV dies much quicker?

Glad it's resolved. For those concerned about 80/100a fuse limits, and thinking about three phase. Be aware that you can get load aware EV chargers, and I suspect my GivEnergy unit is also load aware, as I don't see any other reason this data would be needed for commissioning. This would mean...

Generally, yes. Geopolitical incidents (Ukraine, Gaza) will spike it a little in the summer, but it's not until there is supply uncertainty and winter looming that things get really spicy

Nothing on twitter from Octopus, no sessions on the website. I think we're sitting this one out... On the plus side I get to see how my automations work for a session than doesn't happen
