Sounds like you should have bought the Bosch Indego Robot Mower - they mow in straight lines after mapping the lawn. Bosch claim each cut adds to the stored mapping to improve the efficiency of the cut, however I'm convinced that's just marketing bull. Robot mowers are pretty slow but they...

Completely agree with all your comments, indeed in 2022 I was offered £2.5K more by Tesla for my car than i paid (March 2020 M3P with FSD and White interior) In my 50 years of driving that's the only time I had a car that was worth more than I paid, but we are back to normality now. The comment...

Sorry, perhaps I didn't make my point in the manner i intended. If the OP keeps the X for another 4 years - making the X 10 yrs old - or buys a brand new Y now - and in 4 yrs time compares the value of the car - then Im pretty sure the X will have a greater residual. The 3 was first produced 7...

At 6 yrs and 40K miles there is no way on earth I would consider a Y over the X. In short the X is a much much better car. EVs are super reliable, battery degradation is quite minimal, nowhere near as complicated as an ICE so your X has many years of life left in it. From a purely personal...

Just in case your wondering what the "Orange Bloom" is that @Durzel is referring to - Pre 2022 cars had a different circuit board within the front wing rear facing cameras. The board had three holes for components but a component was never used - so its three tiny but open holes. When the...

You get a 5 yr warranty on the restraints system and 8 years (120000 miles) on the battery and drivetrain - so batteries, motors, gearbox, final drive, shafts and CV joints and as the statement is "drivetrain", the wheel bearing are part of that drivetrain too. I have a 2020 M3P and I'm pretty...

My view of leasing is probably a little screwed up as i tend to see things a bit different to most. I think we live in times where keeping up with the Jones's is important to many, A new car is a status object and a lease makes this behaviour possible and reasonably affordable, of course its all...

20" Turbines on 2020 M3P, No issues at all with them, no punctures either, You don't say if you want Turbines or Uber Turbines, the Ubers are half inch wider and creates that stretched tyre look as the same size tyre was used on both

The Ford case was where the Ford dealer had refused my claim under warranty and I asked them to refer my claim to Ford Motor company because the fault was a known fault and Ford had rectified many cars under warranty, My Wife's car was outside of warranty but developed the same fault and the...

I really don't see what there is to worry about regarding warranty cover, The car has 5 years for the restraints systems - so modules, airbags, sensors, seat belts and the car has battery and drivetrain until 8 years old or 100.000 miles - which covers the motors and inverters, the gearbox/final...

I admit, I'm a cynic, I genuinely believe all businesses, governments, authorities only have one focus - and that's cash generation, there are no morals, some are covert in their methods, many use the psychological approach like charities offering free wills -making the person feel obligated to...

This would create palpitations if my car had moss growing on it, and once I was sedated this would be a two week marathon of a car clean before i rested.

@roadcred I think you may be listening what other people are saying regarding a 2019 car being pretty bad in comparison to the 2023 cars, clearly you haven't had a 2019 otherwise i doubt you'd be saying that. Some people believe the hype of Elon Musk (AKA Electric Jesus or Space Karen) but many...

I know many people fear a total failure of the HV battery, the model 3 uses the 2170s - just a tad bigger than the 18650s - and coincidently used by Dyson in some of their cordless vacuum's. I have power tool batteries with 18650s that are older than 8 years and continue to provide what appears...

Ah Seattle. Majority of your cars are autos, majority of UK cars are manual - or stick shift as you say, so gear selection determines the efficiency. Modern cars gearing would indeed be possible, however, the UK has always had 30MPH in built up areas, so cars are optimised for this, generally 50...

With you now, perhaps the question then to BP is why a 50Kwhr charger never achieves more than 35Kwhrs when charging - when will this be rectified? and are there any plans to install a faster charger in the not too distant future? It just may prompt them to answer as your not seeking...

The 20MPH is purported to save lives. The ULEZ expansion in London is also said to save lives by reducing air pollution. It occurred to me that the truth of this is a straight choice of which way do you want to die - a nice simple instant impact or a lingering death from Hypoxia. Man maths -...

Well, being honest and whilst reading your email to them - my first thoughts were "Cheeky see you next Tuesday" BPs response was about right. What you were asking for is none of your business, Downtime and service schedules, upcoming maintenance - that's all commercially sensitive information -...

I'm long past caring what others think of me when cleaning the car, My neighbours probably think I'm odd because of my obsessiveness for keeping the car pristine, I will wash the car whilst its raining, I take the wheels off to clean the inside of the wheel - and apply tyre shine to the inside...

That is true, but, No variables are likely to interfere with the flight plan, ie - something wont get in the way or change. Aircraft are plotted with GPS (The vision is electronic) and computers know the height, the speed, the runway position and length/width, They know the terrain, the...

Yes we do, but, we have a super complex and efficient system for cleaning the lenses and two eyes creating a depth of view in 3d and all controlled by a computer that's more advanced than the very best electronic super computers in the world.

I disagree with the forced phasing out of ICE vehicles, deadlines are simply setting up for failure. I also disagree with the threats and penalties for not obeying whatever our politicians decide is good for us - re ULEZ zones. I fail to see how £12.50 per day and a predicted revenue of £200...

Genuine question here, - At home i have a bean to cup machine - Sage Oracle. My expresso is brown, I always use milk to make coffee and the result is a brown liquid - Why is McDonalds Coffee (Latte) always grey? They say they use Arabic beans and maybe a blend, I use single origin beans but must...

If a person is of the opinion that their loved ones may be interested in their posts on any forums then the only way I can see that being accessible is if the person leaves a list with log ins and passwords of those forums they interacted with as part of their preparations. I think many people...

Be aware, Fingerprint readers are great but the older you are the thinner your skin and the less reliable fingerprint reading is, If your over 60 there is a good chance fingerprint reading wont work or it requires multiple tries - and as you age it works less and less.

I have three smartlocks, one for 2 years and two for just over a year. 2 x Prolok slimline multi and one exactly the same but sold by Simpled at half the price. 1 is on the UPVC front door with multi lock, 1 on back door which is wood with a 5 lever lock also fitted but never used anymore and...

This is exactly what true Matrix headlamps do and many established manufacturers with their more premium offerings have fitted. Tesla - well they don't have proper Matrix - they project TESLA and that's it, however, now the USA are adopting Matrix I presume at some point Tesla will get a few...

£140 in addition just for spreading the payments? Why do insurance do this? If you buy a product from a shop and you spread the payments you can understand why - they have had to pay to buy their stock in and that ties up cash, let someone pay monthly and that has a cost to the business...

I have no idea,, I've not looked at the details of extended warranty because I've already made my mind up I'm not having it. My car becomes 4 next March. I've never worried about cars when the warranty expires because usually faults are quite simple repairs if you have the kit, and I've bought...

Liam, what you have described is exactly how my home storage batteries warranty works. I have 3 Solax Tripple power LI 4.5Kwhr batteries charged from the solar, They have a 10 yr warranty but reading the terms its a sliding scale year by year as to what's acceptable degradation percentage wise...

In the UK every sale by a trader to a member of the public gets an all encompassing 6 months of warranty under a piece of legislation called the Consumer Act. Every vehicle sold that has a fault within the first 6 months is deemed to have been present at the point of sale and therefore the...

When you first select your next car your head is totally in love with the idea of getting it - your "desire" drives you. The car you have - and want to part Ex, or sell you've fell out of love with - you want rid of it, businesses that buy cars know this and use that basic psychology to enhance...

Whatever is causing the issue it does seem that the way the car responds is different everyday, I've had a couple of really good autopilot drives - but both were early hours on the motorway and traffic very light and both were dry conditions. I've had drives where auto pilot quits ever few...

Who would declare the addition of stalks to an insurer? Surely its like telling the insurer I have a spare wheel in the boot, or my sandwiches in the glove box. I have fitted numerous items to my car, I've not told the insurer anything as all my additions are no more significant than having...

Yes, the flat line looks sort of normal, and as has been said in the UK there is an uplift to the left hand lamp in order to illuminate road signs and kerb edges at a greater distance, the gap and then the projected line, which to me would be the slight uplift if it was directly above the long...

The beam looks like a matrix headlamp with some of the matrix missing. The flat part looks right but the gap and then another horizontal line is something I've not seen before. perhaps send a copy of the pic to Tesla and see what they say.

I think the demise of the spare wheel is a backward step for motor vehicles but its been oh so many years since i had a vehicle with a spare, indeed I may well have had cars with a spare but because i never needed to use one I cant properly remember if one was fitted. I've been driving now for...

I only use my Granny for charging though if on a long trip then its the superchargers, I don't have a dedicated EV charger and don't need one. I fitted a new MK socket which is dedicated to the Granny Charger direct from the consumer unit because there may be wear within any old socket simply...

I just used the 3M double sided tape - they have a name for their super sticky tape but cant remember what it is - anyway, been on nearly three years an no sign of coming away. Rear plate direct to bootlid and front plate stuck to the backing plate.

I have this - or something very similar fitted, to be honest its so discrete no one has ever noticed the tiny visual change in appearance, it fits directly over the existing grill - the fine mesh will stop leaves in particular from entering and potentially building up around the radiator which...

The Hansshow power Frunk kit is intended for DIY and It really is a simple job to do, You do get instructions though they are a bit gobledegook but electrical connections will only fit in the correct sockets - its all plug and play. The tub comes out easily and if you look on youtube you will...

George, I respected your comment re falling out and letting the thread get back on track- None of us aren't falling out - just differing viewpoints - so I left it at that. Then, I've just read your reply to one of our USA friends (The hands up one) Well, I was drinking tea at the time. and...

@bay74 - I note my last two posts have got the thumbs down from you, Is it everything I say? or just a bit of it? Have i misinterpreted the information of the video?. Of course, feel free to disagree with me but it really would help if you posted a reply and say what your belief is or correct...

Well Direct Line do make their claims over the media that the insured shouldn't suffer a loss if they weren't responsible for it, clearly you were not responsible for a deer running into you. As i mentioned before, sometimes staff working for a company believe they are right in what they are...

But Liam, the video was specifically about Tesla's implementation of what they call the heat pump / super manifold so I don't understand when you say you'd be surprised if its fundamentally different (to what you think). It isn't a air source or ground source heat pump so you cant really compare...

There are quite a few insurance companies that advertise (Direct Line is one) that if you hit by an uninsured driver or vehicle damaged when parked up and your not present that they stand the cost without any loss of your NCB. You haven't said who your insurer is - or I've missed it but could...

I have no idea on the failure rate of either the resistive heaters or the heat pumps - all i do know is that the heat pump is currently on revision 5 and that in the UK there has been some issues published on Tesla forums regarding the heat pump - though I don't know any details. Regarding your...

The heat pumps for greater range in the colder temperatures only really produce a greater range if you travel on long drives, majority of people use their cars to drive to work daily and majority of people travel less than 30 miles to work and in these cases the heat pump is a lot less...

I've never heard that or indeed tried selecting both on a comparison site to see if there is a difference, I always assumed overnight in a locked garage would be a positive. However, I will never understand how a premium is arrived at as the prices quoted will change every day, Just how...

I'm with LV, last year for my M3P it was £343.93, this year (end of June) it was £465.06 - so I was happy with just £120 rise. fully comp, full NCB, old bugger in a safe postcode, 5000 miles per year, garaged overnight, social domestic pleasure - I'm retired. My wife with a Fiesta had a similar...
