Not looking to wind anybody up but this thread shows the cult of personality, that being Elon Musk. I can’t believe people were so naive to pay all that money for FSD expecting it within the lifetime of their car. By FSD I mean asking your car to drive you to work for example with no inputs, but...

Thank God we left the EU. EU overreach yet again mandating these :unsafe “safety” features in all cars.

Just coming to this topic fresh as a newbie maybe looking for my first electric car as my employer now offers salary sacrifice scheme with the tax incentives Honestly, I think you’ve got to be mad to be buying the Tesla FSD add on now. Tesla I’m sure will improve on EAP over the next 5 years...

Unless you do a high mileage does anyone really care about fuel costs per mile? I’m looking for my first electric car (maybe) now that my employer is running a lease scheme, currently running a golf R. Despite the relatively high consumption of the Golf I can honestly say I’ve not once bothered...

As legacy car manufacturers close the gap and overtake Tesla in the production of BEVs is this start of long term decline for Tesla? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68818113 In other news e-fuels, or synthetic fuels, are exempt from the EU 2035 petrol/diesel ban. F1 is now investing very...

Highland model has done away with indicator stalks so no one wants to buy them. :rolleyes:

Holy crap, I can’t believe what you Tesla owners are prepared to put up. The car deciding whether or not it’s going to let you use AP. Punishment “strikes’. Unbelievable.

Ex30 is carwow car of the year for 2024 if that means anything. Rear is very cramped though and no drivers display/hud putting me off.

First look at smart #3

Smart #3 brabus looks interesting to me. Nice looking car, fantastic interior, packed with features (that actually work) and blistering performance. Range untested but I’m not fussed about that anyway as will likely charge from home for 99% of journeys. May be let down by a mediocre infotainment...

I’ve noticed many BEV owners on here seem to be high mileage drivers, or at least above the national average which is now 6.6k miles a year. Post covid many people now work from home, don’t have the daily commute and perhaps do as little 2-3k miles per year. With that low mileage, the extra cost...

No wonder depreciation is so terrible, consensus of opinion seems to be BEV cars are going to be practically worthless when hit 7/8 years old.

My take on it is that it is not about cost savings, primarily at least. Just doesn’t make any sense if you then offset those savings with yet more speakers and a rear screen that most people won’t use most of the time. I think Musk is completely obsessed with automation and self drive. He wants...

Looking at smart #1 brabus as a possible next car in stealthy matt grey. Beautiful looking car with the red accents, great interior including drivers display and hud (not a fan of the gimmicky fox thing though). Decent interior space for a small suv. Fantastic performance, good ride quality and...

This is a Tesla forum. Posters are just being honest. Frustrating thing for me is that Tesla do the hard stuff such as efficiency, range, performance so brilliantly yet fall down on basics. Why has refreshed m3 still not got a hud for goodness sake? BMW/Audi/Merc ICE drivers who may be tempted...
