£6167 of what you paid is VAT that goes to the government. You need to work out depreciation on the price without the VAT. So it's £14k. When they sell the car, the buyer will need to pay VAT on top of their price (but the price will be displayed to them as the total including VAT). Also - for...

There are Gridserve 60kW on the Northbound, or use the service road and barrier code to get over to soutbound.

They have done you a favour. Little point in buying new right at the end of its production run.

Ouch, that's overpriced! I'm using (and recommend) the Buzz Rack Buffalo available from www.roofbox.co.uk The cycles hang from their crossbars on this one and it has the advantage that the lighting board is higher up, instead of being down at ground level where tailgaters won't see the brake...

Thanks - very helpful! After doing this it's necessary to go to the account dashboard. It will tell you that everything is ready for the switch (i.e. you already have a smart meter) and it's necessary to click the button to confirm the switch. The switch happens at midnight. I clicked the link...

Yes the rates for tomorrow are eye watering! What's an EMN? 09:00 - 09:30 20.16 09:30 - 10:00 21.00 10:00 - 10:30 21.63 10:30 - 11:00 22.05 11:00 - 11:30 21.63 11:30 - 12:00 22.05 12:00 - 12:30 24.15 12:30 - 13:00 24.19 13:00 - 13:30 22.05 13:30 - 14:00 20.16 14:00 - 14:30 19.95 14:30 - 15:00...

Just double click the key fob to unlock the car and then the charge port can be opened, there's no need to open a door. I bought a fob because my phone had naff bluetooth and the fob just works. Yes it does auto lock when you walk away from the car - the early original M 3 key fob did not but...

Ahhhha so drivers of Audis etc may get more sensible rates? That's quite a clever response to the Tesla supercharger network (where others cannot charge at all). They now get a network for a few brands and keep the Tesla owners off it except when desperate.

Do you have any sockets inside near the outer wall? You may be able to get an electrician to spur off one of those, through the wall to an outside socket. The UK 3-pin charger runs at 10 amps. Possibly an electrician might fit a spur to an outdoor 16 amp commando socket which would charge at...

Can I put my car into your account too please? I want to buy the Acceleration Boost upgrade and do some supercharging. Thanks.

I leave the hooks raised all the time - they are really useful for holding shopping bags and there's no reason to put them down again. Removing them seems like a cheapskate move on a car with a luxury price tag. Are new drivers meant to instead use the frunk for charge cables and the sub boot...

The 8bitdo SN30 bluetooth controller works well and takes up much less space than the xbox-style controllers. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GKLG3ZP You need a bluetooth dongle for each controller (i.e. two dongles if you have two controllers)...

I spoke too soon! "There is still an issue with the Tesla failing to wake up when the Zappi starts a boost or ECO+ charge – this is due to the Tesla firmware. We understand that they are working on a new release which will fix this problem which affects all smart chargers."

13A UK socket tester

The Zappi has benefits even if you don't have solar: It does not require an earth rod. Does not require an external RCD. It has a CT clamp to measure the energy draw of the house so it can throttle back charging if the house is drawing a lot of current - potentially useful if you have some...

I've got a collection appointment on 20th Nov but no reg number yet. When does that get assigned? I'd rather buy the insurance sooner before the prices go up.

The Tesla Driver YouTube channel has UK FSD demos, including v10.

Unless an order has been made and the road is signed to the contrary, a 30 mph speed limit applies where there are three or more lamps throwing light on the carriageway and placed not more than 183 metres apart. So it would need to be able to recognise street lamps and measure the distance...

Does it really need wifi?

It's a white car with orange stickers on it? Not sure the police would see it that way.... But what colour does the DVLA say for this police car that is covered with huge flourescent blue and yellow stickers, officer?

The ship Celine has just arrived at Killingholme (Hull/Grimsby)

There's a ship headed from Zeebrugge to Killingholme (Hull/Grimsby) with cars for deliveries in northern UK. SuperFurry on Twitter

Including HomeStart... Is that much use? :)

Arrival Zeebrugge 15 Nov 12:00. That's 4 days later than its earlier planned arrival time, if I remember correctly.

If only it would set a new destination port. Still says Kingston Jamaica.

This is much more riveting than Eastenders or Big Brother.

Remember that if they hype it as a bundle costing £30,000 you know they really mean £50,000.

And Tesla solar panels. Or the installation of them all. Thanks for replying with the link, Baldrick! Solar no good for me... wrong roof direction and too much tree shade.

Do you have a URL for this? I don't have the email yet but am looking at chargers so would like to see the info on this.

Jasper Arrow is now anchored in port at Kingston, Jamaica.

Can the tesla be told to start charging at time X then stop charging at time Y regardless of how full it is? I'd mostly prefer to charge at cheap rates over a couple of days (if the battery is drained) rather than fill up partially on expensive rates.

Another car transporter is waiting in some miles near it, both out the main shipping lanes. Perhaps they are sheltering there awaiting the right weather conditions to make their voyage? A cargo of thousands of new cars doesn't want to be thrown around on rough seas.

The ship near the Jasper Arrow is the Hoegh Africa - also a vehicle carrier. The live map shows it took a sudden turn to the south at about the same time that the Jasper Arrow changed course? Has the Jasper Arrow diverted to help a stricken ship? Pure speculation. Vessel details for: HOEGH...

Jasper Arrow seems to have got slower then stopped? Another ship stopped nearby. Vessel details for: JASPER ARROW (Vehicles Carrier) - IMO 9267912, MMSI 311919000, Call Sign C6UH9 Registered in Bahamas | AIS Marine Traffic

Both LV and DirectLine are offering competitive quotes for M3 from their websites for me today. TIP: On the LV site, for me their quote goes down from £598 to £561 when I enter the drivers license numbers of myself+spouse instead of manually completing the "how long have you held your license...

PodPoint does not require an earth rod to be installed. They have some other way of dealing with the electrical safety requirement that leads manufacturers add an earth rod.

I have a 21st Nov delivery date to Leeds. I figured it is for a car on the Jasper Arrow which is due to arrive at Panama Canal on Oct 30th?

Why have a second set of rims? On my current car I just have a set of winter tyres and have the local tyre shop swap them with the summer tyres on one set of rims. Isn't that the easiest way to go?
