Interesting but sorry, I could not tell you as its not up my street sort of car.

I agree and you probably would not know it unless it happened to you but certainly Toyota (and I believe Audi and BMW are the same amongst others) that its reasonable for an ICE car to consume up to 1 litre of oil per 1000 miles at any given time of its life (ie. within warranty)... thats 10 to...

Congratulations. Tiffany gets my vote 👍

It would be helpful if you could mention the insurers in your case...... some of us cant read the big print anymore, never mind the small one 🤭

Please go ahead and put in a complaint to Tesla. This is not the general consensus I hear about. Maybe they hired some EX Toyota or Hyundai staff or something... We all have a story or two to tell Im afraid. Since they are direct employees, you should have a bit more leverage further up top.

Our LFP M3 (coming up to 3 years old) is always charged to 100% every time (not necessarily every day)... however the cookie crumbles.... Never had to recalibrate on those times when it didn't quite reach 100% (outside temperature can affect this). Our MY LR also sometimes does not always reach...

Its a fair point... some day you "lot" might have some children ;)

This is a fair point and applicable to the average driver. "friend" of mine was saying to me if I could do Bournemouth to Manchester in one go (6 hours trip).... some people!... 1- who wants to go there (controversial) 2- how often would you do such trip... give me a break... Literally!!

Not much cop if you don't have a compatible charger imho.... good excuse for a moan I suppose from time to time. If I didn't have a compatible charger/chargers, I would not bother either with IO go .

Other brands aren't any better hence why some of us are here, let us not forget.. Anyways, three Teslas on and no major problems that I haven't already mentioned. Cant recall you ever having any nasties or are you just "talking" out loud 🤷‍♂️

I get that you are not keen on the stalks although the model Y still has them but hopefully the FSD and the coming soon features will come to fruition on the Kia 👍

I agree in the principle and that you can have any colour you want.... Including black 🤒

That depends on what you are after... at some point you start trading off some luxury in favour of performance for the money.

Its 2024 amigo. I suppose your alternative for the money today would be an MG4 XPower 🤔 .... Not all all cars came with panel gaps and people were still very happy with them on besides the youtube/press hyping it up.... For some there was still no better alternative back then and for me there...

Ive Had to deal with it a couple of times, fortunately not for myself. The latest one was for my daughters bmw i3 some time ago and the offer was 9k. I politely argued with the assessor that the cheapest I3 on autotraader was 10k and a 1 off plus didn't have the optional CCS charging (2014...

Didn't participate on this as didn't want to add to the messy mix of old meters and new meters and uncounted days at the moment.... Haven't had a bill or export credits for 5 months now, hence have lost some of the enthusiasm for the moment 🥱

Hopefully you are somewhere in between ;)

High value warranty claim... did you have to wait for Tesla to authorise?

On the off chance, have you checked the steering settings (on your screen menu) as to see if anything has changed?

Yes but you have to put things into perspective. A blown engine or gearbox on a ICE car with the performance you have at the moment on you M3p would cost you a pretty penny plus your running costs top of that with allot of the expense being man hours to get it sorted plus your down time. As for...

Got two ioniqs here and dealership experience is not great. They take an age to sort anything out, not that knowledgeable as to busy most of the time dealing with ice cars I suppose, 4th service is shockingly expensive for what it is and you will *sugar* yourself if the fuel flap actuator breaks...

You will need a smart meter first in order to go on to any of the smart/EV tariffs. Get your smart meter installation booked asap as it will take a while.

I will add this as a reminder to others that not all is as it seems at first glance (you have a peak at the and they look fine). This is my Mrs Model 3 SR (rear tyres) and just done 30k miles... now off to find somewhere to just them as it seems excessive!

It's those like me that rely on gas central heating the suffer most but that is the only thing reliant on gas now over here. Since ive installed the induction hob, Im not using any gas in the summer as ive tuned on the immersion and everything runs happily from the batteries during peak rate...

All UK Model Y's have Ryzen 👍

Reminds me of back in late 2021 when they first became available for pre-order and people were on about waiting for Germany built, 4680's and structural battery pack.... BTW, the OP is thinking of buying used and that is what I would normally do given the chance. Waiting for juniper "might"...

Many moons ago (about 5) I mashed a bmw RWD (e30 no traction control). It was just a small glitch and unrecoverable due to the very narrow road (single lane).... Every car since I had has either had traction control or all wheel drives or both.... I bought a RWD SR+ for the Mrs with is far...

When I bought mine and the Mrs car I paid cash as to avoid interest rates (4 or 4.9 at the time I believe) . Now the the model 3 is at 0% I would not see the point personally unless you've got something else that will need financing soon. Otherwise that money can still gain a bit of interest...

Came across this on my travels and to be fair thought it was some whistleblowing stuff but this turned out to be a decent/satisfying watch imho.... the guy reminds me of something straight out of goodfellas 😬

Same setup as me. Your AC solar should go straight onto the gateway and the gateway limits the total export regardless of how many batteries or panels. In theory you could have at least 11kw of solar and as many powerwalls as you want without issues.

That is what I do... done it once and forgot about it. Charger is enrolled with IO and five cars make use of it... 4 different size batteries and some with charge limit at 80% and others at 100%. Even if I was to give a masterclass to the individual users, IO is still setup for the larger...

I get the same problem hence dont use it. It's an issue with the tesla baked version as all my songs play correctly through proper CarPlay, online player etc. If you ever had iTunes match where you uploaded some of your own library it springs from that. You can try deleting said songs and...

Unfortunately you are relying on some variants using because the octopus app does not talk to the car directly ... chinese whispers comes to mind.

There is a pull down to refresh unless i misunderstood what oy meant.

I know everyone doesn't get the same peak rates but for my case my case ill do a simple calculation: 18x 0.27.27 (peak) = 4.90.86 + 6x 0.075 (off peak) = 5.35.86 (total for 24 hours) then divide this by 24 and the price per unit is 0.22.32.75 flat rate 🤷‍♂️

To further explain what @Mark_T said, you need to look at your bills. It will tell you what your average rate is... mine is averaging at close to 7.3p plus vat per unit.

Unless they drop the off peak rate, It means nothing for those with battery that barely touch the peak rate plus as someone as mentioned the price cap does not apply to IO. What I would like to see is the standing charge drop!

Invest in solar and batteries if you haven't already 👍

You start of with 3k down over 3 years You assume that running costs will be equal over the next 3 years You assume that your m3p will be worth -3k in the next 3 years You assume that your 20k investment at whatever rate between now and then will make you some profit over the next 3 years. You...

I would say that is the furthest from the truth. Mega rich do self assessment for their taxes and its actually beneficial when you submit your expenses and its nice to have a new car every year or so and never visit an MOT station again etc. That will be me 😬

I know and understand that you have some reluctance to using home assistant (I also did from experience years ago where it was a bit more of a fiddle) but this would solve your issue. I’ve recently resorted to going back into it with a raspberry pi as to consolidate all my tech into one app...

Another vote for Nationwide. They used to use green flag (which also served me well once with a blow out) but yes as of last year I think use the AA. Besides other benefits already mentioned, their mobile phone insurance is also great as it also covers if the phone goes faulty and its a fast...

First you get your tin hat on and then wrap the device in tin foil and then you wrap the car in tin foil as well (not necessarily in that order)... Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get you ... Every day is all about what is the odds...Im sure the OP calculated...

It says not advised for vehicles with 16v batteries OR Model Y's from Feb. 2023 (for whatever reason 🤔)

All MY's for UK market have the 16v battery since they started delivering if February 2022.

Lack of rear wiper compensation 🤭

No problems here... Jokes aside this topic could go on forever... or as long as they dont change the system and we have noobs 😬 🥱

Not always... it like home/AC chargers but I think most have given up on that technicality... sometimes we all know what the OP meant to say and trying to be the clever dick means you are the dick 🤭 ;)

Very similar damage to what my Mrs done to her model 3 the other day. She was going around a car park that had wooden sleepers in places for raised beds and unfortunately cut the corner without realising they were there and caught one of the sleepers. As mentioned you need to find an approved...
